Decreased subfoveal choroidal thickness and failure of emmetropisation in patients with oculocutaneous albinism.
PURPOSE The purpose of this work was to describe the choroidal structure in patients with oculocutaneous albinism (OCA). METHODS 20 eyes of 10 patients with OCA and 14 eyes of 7 healthy controls were recruited for the study. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of the subjects were taken. The choroidal thickness (CT) was measured from the outer boarder of the retin...
متن کاملVariability in subfoveal choroidal thickness measurements.
The recent report by Rahman et al. describing subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) measurements was interesting to read and raised several questions that further interpretation of their data may answer. The range of thicknesses (OD 172–550 m; OS 142–563 m) seems surprisingly large for the age range of their study participants. Using the formula for age-adjusted SFCT measurements of Margolis and...
متن کاملOculocutaneous albinism
Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a group of inherited disorders of melanin biosynthesis characterized by a generalized reduction in pigmentation of hair, skin and eyes. The prevalence of all forms of albinism varies considerably worldwide and has been estimated at approximately 1/17,000, suggesting that about 1 in 70 people carry a gene for OCA. The clinical spectrum of OCA ranges, with OCA1A b...
متن کاملVariation in subfoveal choroidal thickness in patients with high myopia complicated by choroidal neovascularization
The aims of this study was to observe the variation in subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in patients with highly myopic macular complicated by choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and to compare choroidal thickness in these eyes with highly myopic eyes without CNV, matched with the others group by ages, genders, eye axial length and diopter. 72 cases with 72 eyes, confirmed with high myopia in...
متن کاملQuality of life in patients with oculocutaneous albinism*
BACKGROUND The social reality of the albino needs to be more studied in Brazil, as myths and social segregation regarding this illness are likely to be found in the country, with psychosocial and medical implications. OBJECTIVE As this subject has not been referenced in previous scientific articles in Brazil, this research intends to evaluate the quality of life of the albinos that treated at...
