Purpose: To characterize abnormal corneal topographic changes using corneal computerized videokeratography (CVK) in a paediatric population with Down syndrome, and in their parents. Methods: Prospective, non-randomized clinical trial. Twenty-one children with Down syndrome (mean age 6.9 years) recruited from The Hospital for Sick Children, 18 of their parents, and a paediatric control group of 60 otherwise well children (mean age 9 years), underwent complete ocular examination and CVK using the EyeSys system. Corneal topographic maps were assessed subjectively, and three objective parameters analysed: central corneal power (CP), difference in central corneal power between the two eyes (DCP), and inferior–superior steepening asymmetry (I-S). Results: Corneal curvature in children with Down syndrome was significantly steeper than in the paediatric control population (CP 46.66 vs 42.60 D, P
