Abstract
Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal aneuploidy and is associated with an increased risk of various medical conditions, among which ophthalmological disorders are particularly significant. Their high prevalence, especially when co-occurring with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), complicates clinical assessment and necessitates a coordinated multidisciplinary approach. This paper presents the case of a six-year-old female patient with Down syndrome and ASD, in whom myopic astigmatism was diagnosed and pronounced Brushfield spots were observed along the entire limbus. The findings emphasize the importance of timely diagnosis, individualized strategies for the correction of refractive errors, and consistent parental involvement, which in synergy contribute to optimizing visual function and improving quality of life.
