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
