About this update from The Cooper Companies, Inc.

RICHMOND HILL, ON, April 16, 2026 /CNW/ - CooperVision Canada is proud to announce a new partnership with Valérie Maltais, one of Canada's most decorated Olympic speed skaters, as she continues to pursue excellence both on the ice and in her academic studies. As she trains toward the next major international competitions, Maltais relies on MyDay Energys® contact lenses, which deliver premium optics shown to improve vision and comfort*1,2. Maltais' career is defined by speed, strategy, and precision. A five‑time Olympian and multi‑medalist, she competes in an environment where the smallest visual detail can determine the outcome of a race. Reliable, consistent vision is a competitive requirement—not a luxury. Balancing this with her academic work, completed largely through online courses, Maltais experiences the same digital‑device challenges facing millions of Canadians. MyDay Energys® helps support this demanding dual lifestyle. "I put my lenses on in the morning. I feel that my eyes are fresh, my vision is simply clear. I can go and do my training either on the ice, in the gym or on the bike." said Valérie Maltais. "This is my job as an athlete, I need to focus on my performances and getting ready. I'm also a student and most of my classes are online. I can focus on my schoolwork, looking at a screen and not feeling that my eyes are dry or my eyes are tired1. I would definitely recommend MyDay Energys® because for me it was just a positive experience." MyDay Energys® is made of a naturally wettable material with no need for surface treatments or coatings to help provide unsurpassed comfort. DigitalBoostTM technology may help ease eye muscle stress, resulting in better vision, less eye strain, and more comfortable eyes#‡2,3. "At CooperVision, our mission is to help people see better every day," said Kristine Churchward, Head of Marketing, CooperVision Canada. "Valérie's journey as both an elite athlete and committed student mirrors the varied visual demands many Canadians face. We're proud to support her with MyDay Energys®, a lens designed for the demands of modern, high‑performance lives." Through this partnership, CooperVision and Maltais will collaborate on initiatives that illuminate the critical role of vision in enabling active, modern lifestyles—whether in high‑performance sport, academi...
