Vision Impairments in Young Adults with Down Syndrome.

People with Down syndrome have more visual problems than the general population. They experience premature ageing, and they are expected to also have an acceleration in worsening visual function. A prospective observational study which includes visual acuity, refractive error, accommodation, binocular and colour vision was performed on young adults with ( = 69) and without ( = 65) Down syndrome and on a senior group ( = 55) without Down syndrome.
