Delivering Glasses!

Melissa Perry delivers glasses to students at Chalkley Elementary

Delivery of services connected to our groundbreaking study with VCU had three parts:

1. Providing VisioCheck Screening
2. Providing eye exams for referred students
3. Providing glasses

The screenings began in October, with exams and fittings for glasses starting shortly thereafter.  Our friends at VSP provided all of the frames and lab work for the glasses, and now begins the distribution process!

Under standard program delivery, Conexus does not typically get to see the “end result” of their work – a child getting to see their “new” world through corrected vision.  However, as part of the study, we’ve been privileged to deliver glasses directly to more than 150 students, and seeing their expressions and hearing their gratitude has been one of the best gifts of the season!
