Abstract

Albinism includes a group of genetic disorders with decreased pigmentation. Eye defects include foveal hypoplasia and misrouting of retinal nerve impulses. The primary concerns of those with albinism are low vision and societal misconceptions, which can also lead to social and emotional problems. Persons with albinism can live fairly normal lives when they have appropriate support and resources, including low vision rehabilitation.
