VisionCare appoints new CEO

Previously, Ruggia worked at Johnson & Johnson for 5 years, most recently as vice president WW customer experience and ocular surface disease at Johnson & Johnson Vision.
“The opportunity to lead and grow VisionCare to serve a broader patient candidate pool is one that I embrace.
