Abstract

A female patient with totally white hair and pink skin had gradual visual loss to hand motion in the right eye within one year. Upon her visit to the Department of Ophthalmology, she was found to have a totally white cataract and a family history of intermarriage, and was finally diagnosed with oculocutaneous albinism and complicated cataract in the right eye. The best corrected visual acuity of her right eye increased to 0.15 at 6 months after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. Clear choroidal vessels could be seen in the ultra-widefield color fundus image and autofluorescence image. No macular fovea structure was found on optical coherence tomography of the fundus. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2021, 57: 787-790).
