This study is looking at whether a special type of glasses prescription, called Metric-optimized spectacles, can improve vision for children with Down syndrome better than regular glasses (Routine Clinical Spectacles). Metric-optimized spectacles are made using computer analysis of detailed eye images. The study aims to enroll 24 children with Down syndrome, aged 5 to 12 years, who can sit for eye tests and have their eyes dilated. Children with certain eye conditions like nystagmus (involuntary eye movements) or a history of eye surgery cannot join. The main goal is to see if the Metric-optimized spectacles lead to better distance visual acuity (how clearly you see things far away) after 2 months.

Study design

This is a randomized, crossover study involving 24 participants. It compares two types of spectacle prescriptions.

What's involved

You would have 5 study visits over 12 months. These visits include eye exams, measuring pupil size, and wavefront aberration measurements.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your distance visual acuity will be measured at 2 months after adapting to the glasses.
