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.

Conexus, formerly known as Prevent Blindness Mid-Atlantic, was established in 1957 as the National Society to Prevent Blindness - Virginia Affiliate. Throughout our history, our name has changed to reflect our vision and reach, but our mission is clear: eliminating undetected and untreated vision problems as barriers to success, enabling all children to reach their fullest potential.
