Down syndrome (DS) is associated with reduced visual acuity that cannot be explained by motivational or attentional factors. To isolate the contribution of optical factors to visual performance in DS, two types of resolution acuity were measured: grating resolution acuity, which is limited by optical quality, and interferometric acuity, which effectively bypasses the optics of the eye.
