In this one hour and ten minute session we are joined by Maggie Woodhouse. Maggie has been working for over 25 years in the field of visual development in children with Down syndrome. She has been instrumental in developing new tests and techniques to allow the assessment of vision in people with limited communication.

During this session Maggie will be discussing all things eye care for children with Down syndrome including what to expect in an eye test, why they are needed for our children, the use of eye drops, choosing glasses, nystagmus and other eye conditions associated with Down syndrome. Please note that this session is designed to look specifically at eyecare for children with Down syndrome
