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.
