How is Albinism Inherited?
Albinism has two types each inherited differently.
The damage of Albinism to the eyes
Eye Problems from albinism are caused by abnormal devlopment due to the lack of pigmentation. Some traits that you might see can be...
- crossed eyes
- lazy eye (one eye leaves focus)
- Sensitivity to bright light
- either far sighted or near sighted
- Optic nerve misrouting, nerve signals from the retina to the brain follow abnormal paths
- Iris has not enough pigment to block light from entering. So when normaly only the pupil lets in light the iris will too.
