Bailey, N.; And Others
Australia and New Zealand Journal of Developmental Disabilities, v15 n1 p49-55 1989
Vision of 116 students, ages 6-19, with Down syndrome in the Brisbane (Australia) area was screened. Non-cycloplegic retinoscopy successfully assessed all the students for refractive error. Of the 99 children in special schools, about half did not show significant refractive error but 30 percent were farsighted, 14 percent nearsighted, and 21 percent astigmatic. (Author/PB)
