What is Ocular Albinism (OA)?
Human albinism can be divided broadly into two types, ‘Oculocutaneous Albinism (OCA)’ and ‘Ocular Albinism (OA)’. These terms were devised in the late 1940s, when medical science was less sophisticated than it is now. The terminology sounds simple, but in reality is probably incorrect, since all forms of albinism have relative deficiencies of pigment in the hair, skin, and eyes.
