    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Down syndrome is a genetic disorder associated with various health issues.
    • Ocular complications are frequently observed in individuals with Down syndrome.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence and types of ocular anomalies in individuals with Down syndrome.
    • To document ophthalmologic findings over a 10-year period.

    Main Methods:

    • Longitudinal study over 10 years.
    • Ophthalmologic examinations including external examination, retinoscopy, anterior segment evaluation, ophthalmoscopy, and tonometry.
    • Study population: 30 individuals with Down syndrome (ages 10-50).

    Main Results:

    • The most frequent ocular anomalies observed were oblique fissures, refractive error, blepharoconjunctivitis, epicanthus, and Brushfield's spots.

  • These anomalies occurred in 50% or more of the study participants.
  • The study included 30 individuals, with a male predominance (80%).

    • Conclusions:

    • Individuals with Down syndrome exhibit a high prevalence of specific ocular anomalies.
    • Regular ophthalmologic monitoring is crucial for early detection and management of visual impairments in this population.
