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!
The Conexus 2025-2026 program year was our biggest year ever
with more than 112,000 screened in 58 school divisions across
the Commonwealth through VisioCheck and more

exams provided to students in 19 school divisions!
This year, Conexus expanded its Mobile Vision Clinic to Brunswick, Buckingham, Caroline, Charles City, Colonial Heights, Dinwiddie, Lunenburg, Nelson, Nottoway, and Staunton! Conexus also delivered pilot programs to Newport News and Roanoke with an eye towards future growth.
