Ocular manifestations are frequent in trisomy 21 and are dominated by refractive disorders.
Management should be early with specialized and systematic pediatric ophthalmic examinations.
The majority of these anomalies are treatable to ensure better social integration. We report a study
describing these manifestations in 65 children with Down syndrome 21 followed in the university
hospital of Marrakech.
KEY WORDS: Trisomy 21, refractive disorders, amblyopia, strabismus, keratoconus.
