Stereopsis in patients with albinism: Clinical correlates

Positive angle kappa in albinism

“…This study and another have identified stereopsis in some patients with albinism. 5 Our results suggest that positive angle kappa remains a constant feature despite binocular function.…”

Efficacy of spectacles in persons with albinism

“…Because three patients who fused with the Worth-4-dot test gained gross stereoacuity (3000 seconds of arc) with glasses and none lost stereoacuity with glasses, it is likely that at least some individuals will experience an increase in binocular function while wearing glasses. 10 In our study, we assessed compliance by asking the patients or parents to rate the compliance by percentage of time glasses were worn. The responses showed overwhelming compliance with glasses wear.…”

A Japanese Family With Autosomal Dominant Oculocutaneous Albinism Type 4

“…5,30 Many other morphologic anomalies have been reported in the visual pathway of patients with albinism, such as reduced central retinal ganglion cell (RGC) numbers, 31 optic nerves and chiasms of smaller diameter, 32 and decreased lateral geniculate nuclei numbers 33 and gray matter volume at the occipital cortex. 34 These anomalies are likely to be the direct result of decreased ganglion cell numbers in the central retina in albino patients.…”
