WHO IS CONEXUS?
1 in 4 children has a vision issue that impacts their ability to learn. Conexus programs aim to remove poor vision as a barrier so that EVERY child has the opportunity to be successful in the classroom and in life!
DID YOU KNOW?
In economically challenged communities, 1 in 3 school aged children has a vision problem.
80% of what a child learns in a normal classroom setting is through vision.
74% of illiterate adults cannot pass a portion of their vision screening.
70% of juvenile delinquents have an uncorrected vision problem.
Only 15% of children will visit an eye care professional before entering school.
Essilor Foundation reports children with uncorrected visual acuity less than 20/20 are 3 times more likely to fail a grade in school.
Seeing what the Conexus team is providing for our young people was just incredibly powerful!
