Individuals with Down syndrome may sometimes find maintaining eye contact challenging. To enhance eye contact, it's essential to approach it with patience and consistency. Vision therapy, facilitated by an optometrist, can offer tailored exercises and strategies to improve visual tracking and focusing. These exercises may help in enhancing eye contact over time. Additionally, a functional eye exam is recommended to rule out any underlying visual problems that may be influencing the ability to maintain eye contact. Building trust and practicing in comfortable settings can also make a significant difference.
