Abnormal Retinal Vessel Architecture in Albinism and Idiopathic Infantile Nystagmus.

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci

May 2022

Ulverscroft Eye Unit, Department of Neuroscience, Psychology and Behaviour, University Of Leicester, University Road, Leicester, LE1 7RH, United Kingdom.

Article Synopsis
  • Infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) can change how babies see and is linked to problems in the eye's blood vessels, just like in albinism.
  • Scientists studied the eye images of 24 people with albinism, 10 with INS, and 34 people without these conditions to see how their retinal blood vessels differed.
  • The results showed fewer and thinner blood vessels in people with albinism and INS compared to those without, possibly due to issues in the part of the eye that helps blood vessel development.
