Summary

This study tests the hypothesis that objectively derived spectacle prescriptions based on wavefront aberration measurements of the eyes of individuals with Down syndrome can provide an improvement in visual acuity over that obtained with spectacle prescriptions based on standard clinical prescribing techniques. The objectively derived prescriptions are derived using strategies to optimize retinal image quality as measured by image quality metrics, and thus these prescriptions will be referred to as metric-derived.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Diagnosis of Down syndrome

Exclusion Criteria

  • Nystagmus (Involuntary beating movement of the eyes)
  • Visually significant media opacities (e.g. cataracts or corneal scars)
  • Strabismic amblyopia (reduced vision in one eye related to a constant eye-turn)
  • Anisometropic amblyopia (reduced vision in one eye related to a long-standing uncompensated difference in prescription between the two eyes)
