The company name changed to Cooper Laboratories, Inc. in 1967.

The company then went public in 1983. In 1987, CooperVision, Inc. changed its name to The Cooper Companies, Inc. and organized into three groups: Cooper Technicon, CooperSurgical, and CooperVision. In 2004, CooperVision acquired Ocular Sciences, Inc., a global manufacturer and marketer of soft contact lenses. This acquisition helped the company become the third-largest soft contact lens manufacturer in the world. (Technically acquisition concluded on January 7, 2005) In 2011, CooperVision announced its rebranding, developed by Siegel+Gale, a global branding firm. In 2012, this rebrand was one of five companies to win the "Best of Awards" by REBRAND. Also in 2011, CooperVision initiated a product recall on a limited number of lots of Avaira spherical and toric lenses. This was a result of identifying certain lots that did not meet the company’s updated quality requirements. In 2013, researchers from CooperVision, along with others from Linköping University, the University of Ottawa, FibroGen Inc., and Synsam Opticians participated in a study on the partial success of artificial corneas.
