Why can Ocular Albinism be corrected by wearing corrective glasses or contact lenses?
Two features affect the final visual outcome. Underdevelopment of the center vision of the retina (the ‘fovea’) does not allow the ‘film of the retina’ to take an accurate picture and thus transmit an accurate picture to the brain. Second, because both the transmission of images and the balance of wiring from each eye to each side of the brain are altered, the brain cannot interpret the impulses correctly and the image is less than perfect. Thus, even when the image is accurately focused with the proper glasses prescription or contact lens prescription, the film in the back of the camera does not take a good picture and the computer does not receive a good transmission.
