X-linked recessive ocular albinism is a form of ocular albinism, a group of X-linked or autosomal genetic disorders characterised by partial or total lack of melanin pigmentation in the eyes. Eyes may be severely affected with photophobia and reduced visual acuity. Nystagmus or strabismus are often associated. The irides and fundus are depigmented.
