ABSTRACT
Ocular albinism is a rare condition of abnormality in the cellular metabolism of the product of melanin in the ocular tissue. This disease is transmitted as an imtermediate sex linked recessive. This condition was first described by Nettleship in 1909. In addition, many authors described this condition. The fundamentalelinical symptoms and signs are lowered visual acuity, photophobia, nystagmus, the yellow-orange color of the fundus with the choroidal vessels perfectly visible, absence of the foveal reflex and iris that transilluminates well with scleral illumination. Recently, we experienced two cases of typical ocular albinism.
