Association Between Accommodative Accuracy, Hypermetropia, and Strabismus in Children with Down’s Syndrome

Abstract

This study demonstrates the marked association between under-accommodation, hypermetropia, and strabismus in children with Down's syndrome. No causal relation can be demonstrated with these data, but findings suggest that the link between under-accommodation and hypermetropia (and between accurate accommodation and emmetropia) is present in early infancy.
