Pathophysiology of ocular albinism ?
Misrouting of optic nerve fibers
Symptoms of ocular albinism?
1- reduced visual acquity
2- photophobia
3- strabismus
4- nystagmus
5- lack binocular vision
Eye structures involved in ocular albinism?
Retina
Fovea
Which type of OCA has most severe ocular dysfunction?
OCA1A
What is tyrosinase negative OCA ?
OCA1A
Symptoms of OCA1A ?

In OCA1A the hair becomes yellow with time?
Due to the denaturing of hair keratins
