Our aim was to present the ophthalmic anomalies in patients with Down syndrome in Split-Dalmatia County born
from 1992 until 2009 year. It was a cross-sectional study. 153 children with Down syndrome aged 0–18 years from the
Split-Dalmatia County were examined. One hundred twelve participants were borne in Split,13 in Vrgorac,16 in Makarska,
12 in Sinj. All enrolled children underwent a complete ophthalmological examination (anterior segment, ocular motility,
refractive status, fundus, measuring intraocular pressure (IOP). Of 89.5% percent of responders with refractive errors,
48.1% had myopia, 35.0% had hypermetropia, astygamtism in 16.7%, 28.7% strabismus, nystagmus (8.4%), cataracts
(1.3%), glaucoma (1.9%), supernumerary optic disc vessels (24.1%) and keratoconus (1.3%). Conclusion: In patients
