Abstract
This study confirmed the findings of prior studies in identifying a significant presence of uncorrected refractive errors and ocular pathology in the Down syndrome population. Screening with the Lea symbol chart found borderline sufficient sensitivity and specificity for the test to be used for screening in this population. The better sensitivity and specificity of the CVA, if adjusted normative values are utilized, appear to make this test sufficient for testing Down syndrome children for identifying both refractive errors and ocular pathology.
