Abstract
SummaryAlbinism is a group of disorders characterized principally by its ophthalmic features with or without systemic manifestations. Persons with albinism manifest a wide variety of phenotypes and limited number of genotypes. Modern molecular genetics has encouraged a new classification and understanding of the subtypes of these disorders. In addition to the ocular and systemic manifestations, ophthalmologists must be familiar with the specific visual needs and psychological challenges of these individuals as well as those of their families.
