From the eye care professional's point of view, the three most common types of albinism are tyrosinase-negative oculocutaneous albinism, tyrosinase-positive oculocutaneous albinism and ocular albinism. Skin and uveal hypopigmentation is variable in this condition depending on the type of albinism. However, all types of albinism lack the necessary uveal pigmentation have subnormal visual acuity. Using low vision rehabilitation techniques such as modifying lighting and providing telescopic optical devices, these patients can experience dramatic improvements in functional visual acuity. This manuscript examines strategic approaches to visual rehabilitation as well as provides a clinical review of the condition.
