Overview

Ophthalmology examination and evaluation should be done to confirm the diagnosis. Visual-evoked potential testis used for recognition acuity in children and shows misrouting of optic nerves.

Other Diagnostic Studies

  • Ophthalmology examination and evaluation should be done to confirm the diagnosis[1]
    • Iris translumination is identified on slit-lamp examination
    • Visualization of choroidal blood vessels may be present on fundoscopic examination
  • Visual-evoked potential tests (VEP)[2]
    • This test can be used for recognition acuity in children with albinism
    • Misrouting of optic nerves are present in selective VEP exam
