The Conexus Council for Pediatric Vision met this morning in Richmond, VA.  Exciting plans are being made for a ground breaking study, partnering with Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) that will likely change the way children are screened for vision problems throughout the United States. 

“The mission of Conexus is to eliminate poor vision as barriers to success, and our vision is that every child reach their fullest potential,” said Conexus CEO Tim Gresham.  “Our study will determine best practice public screening methods and protocols,” added Gresham.
