Expert answer:
Ocular Albinism it's the albinism in which the hypopigmentation is primarily limited to eyes. It is less common to ocular-cutaneous albinism that affects the skin and hair beyond the eyes.
O albinism is genetic alteration which causes reduction or absence of melanin production and, as a consequence, produces a hypopigmentation gives skin, hair and eyes. In other words, the cause of ocular albinism is a change in genes inherited from the father and mother.
In ocular albinism, in addition to hypopigmentation of the iris and retina, the person may present strabismus, myopia, astigmatism, reduced visual acuity, photophobia and other ocular changes.
The doctor or ophthalmologist is responsible for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.
