Albinism
Abstract
Albinism is the term applied to a heterogeneous group of genetically determined disorders characterized by hypopigmentation and affecting the eyes. After describing the clinical features of albinism in general, the authors discuss the various forms of oculocutaneous albinism, ocular albinism, and albinoidism that are of interest to the ophthalmologist. Emphasis is placed on the ocular features of each form. The visual pathway abnormalities and the clinical management of albinism are discussed.
