Resumen
Los defectos refractivos influyen en el desarrollo del aprendizaje de los niños y niñas con Síndrome de Down, por lo que en su etapa escolar los niños Down no tienen el mismo rendimiento intelectual que los niños normales y si existe un problema refractivo el niño va a tender a distraerse con facilidad empeorando su aprendizaje, en sus primeros años de estudio en las estrategias de aprendizaje se utilizan métodos de observación y análisis, por lo cual es necesario un diagnóstico refractivo del sistema visual a todos los niños con síndrome de Down, para evitar anomalías en su aprendizaje. El examen de retinoscopía es el más utilizado en niños no colaboradores porque da mejor resultado; y eficacia al examen visual ya que se puede hacer sin la colaboración del niño y a las vez mejora la experiencia clínica con niños no colaboradores que en este campo son los más difíciles de examinar, los que se les detecta problemas visuales se les da su respectivo tratamiento de lentes oftálmicos de uso permanente para mejorar su agudeza visual y tengan un mejor confort visual y así mejoren sus rendimiento académico. Además se recomienda a los padres hacerles un chequeo cada año con un optometrista de preferencia por el cambio de lentes o por chequeo de agudeza visual, cabe recalcar que hay otras anomalías como estrabismos, forias que tienen relación con un defecto refractivo son corregidos, los problemas lagrimales que son muy común en ellos pero se toman como criterios de exclusión porque se trata en esta investigación solo defectos refractivos que afectan el rendimiento académico en los niños y niñas con Síndrome Down.

Refractive errors affect the learning development of children with Down syndrome, so in her school children with Down syndrome are not the same children normal intellectual performance and if there is a refractive problem the child will tend easily distracted worsening their learning in their first years of study in learning strategies of observation and analysis methods are used, whereby a refractive diagnostic visual system to all children with Down syndrome is necessary to avoid anomalies in their learning. The examination of retinoscopy is the most widely used in children because no partners works best; and effectiveness as visual examination can be done without the cooperation of the child and turn improves clinical experience with children no partners in this field are more difficult to examine, which were detected visually impaired are given their respective treatment ophthalmic lenses permanent use to improve your visual acuity and have a better visual comfort and thus improve their academic performance. In addition, parents are recommended them a checkup every year with an optometrist preferably by lens exchange or check visual acuity, it should be emphasized that there are other abnormalities such as strabismus, phoria that relate to a refractive defect is corrected, problems tear which are very common in them but are taken as exclusion criteria because research is only refractive errors that affect academic performance in children with Down síndrome
