Retinal fixation behavior in human albinos.

The retinal fixation behavior of 17 albinos was examined whilst they fixated a stationary target. An optical system was arranged so that the motion of the target on the retina, due to the nystagmus, could be video-recorded. Eye movements were monitored simultaneously. Eight of the 17 subjects were judged to use consistently a retinal location compatible with the anatomical position of the fovea. The implications of this for subjects with foveal hypoplasia are discussed.

The recognition and management of albinism.

Albinism is not a single entity but represents a heterogenous group of inherited disorders of pigmentation. Despite a wide variety of manifestations, all forms of albinism are characterized by several ocular features, including: nystagmus, photophobia, reduced visual acuity and a lack of stereopsis. It is the intention of this review to describe and discuss the clinical implications of albinism with particular emphasis placed on these ocular features and their effects on visual performance. Various techniques that may be employed to aid the albino will also be described.
