Council for Pediatric Vision

The Conexus Council for Pediatric Vision has been charged with reviewing and recommending protocols and policies relating to our public health and community program activities, guiding the continued delivery of our best practice comprehensive children’s vision programs.

The Council is comprised of professionals representing Ophthalmology, Optometry, Public Health, K-12 education,  early childhood education, and the Virginia House of Delegates.  

Additionally, Conexus maintains one of the largest, most “usable” data bases in the region on children’s vision programming and outcomes.  We are excited to work with the Council to use the valuable data to impact vision outcomes for our students.
