Abstract
El Síndrome de Down es una anomalía genética producida por la trisomía total o parcial del cromosoma 21. Se expresa con unos rasgos morfológicos característicos y presenta una serie de patologías sistémicas asociadas como son enfermedades cardiacas, disfunciones metabólicas y alteraciones respiratorias. Gracias a los avances médicos la esperanza de vida de las personas con síndrome de Down se ha incrementado varias décadas en los últimos años, llegando a vivir hasta los 70 años. Numerosos estudios revelan un envejecimiento prematuro en distintas funciones vitales de las personas con síndrome de Down, por lo que cabría esperar que también se produjera un deterioro temprano en la función visual. Actualmente, los adultos con síndrome de Down tienen una vida muy activa y sus necesidades visuales son muy altas. Por ello, es necesario que se preste un especial cuidado a su visión para mejorar su calidad de vida...
Down syndrome is a genetic anomaly caused by total or partial Trisomy of chromosome 21. It is expressed with a few morphological features characteristic and it presents a series of associated systemic diseases such as heart disease, metabolic disorders and respiratory problems. Thanks to medical advances the life expectancy of people with Down syndrome has increased several decades in recent years, reaching live up to 70 years. Numerous studies relate the premature aging of different vital functions in the subjects with Down syndrome, so it would be expected that there will also be an early deterioration in the visual function. Currently, adults with Down syndrome have a very active life and their visual needs are very high.
