Ocular Albinism treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Ocular albinism is a genetic condition that mainly affects the production of pigment in the eyes, so that the retina and iris receive less melanin. It is usually present from birth.

How it presents: sensitivity to light, involuntary eye movements, changes in visual acuity, and, at times, difficulty perceiving depth.

Why follow-up matters: timely support helps make the most of vision and adapt the school or work environment.

Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist evaluates and follows up on visual health, and the pediatrician supports development when it is detected in childhood. If you notice marked sensitivity to light or unusual eye movements in a child, an early assessment with the specialist is a great help.
