pubmed:abstractText |
Albinism is an inherited disorder that affects the melanin biosynthesis pathway, which results in reduced or absent pigment formation. This may lead to increased light transmission through the iris and more reflected light from the fundus. Both these effects contribute to the occurrence of ocular straylight. One aim of this study is to determine whether and how increased iris transmission and fundus reflection in subjects with albinism contributes to the occurrence of ocular straylight. The other aim is to determine the effect that an iris print-contact lens (CL) could have in terms of reducing the occurrence of ocular straylight.
