On March 29, CooperVision announced its 2022 Best Practices honorees and student scholarship recipients. The initiative—now in its seventh year—brings together innovative U.S. eye care practices committed to advancing the profession and providing exceptional patient care, while the student scholarship component enables standout optometry students to learn directly from some of the best in optometry.
This year, honorees were selected based on their efforts across five key categories: industry advancement, community impact, patient experience, specialty services and team building.
