Other Diagnostic Studies

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