Quantifying the correlation of ocular manifestations and macular pigment optical density in albinism: a prospective cross-sectional study

Patients with albinism have macular pigments, and these can be determined by colour perimetry. Eyes with higher macular pigments tend to have better visual acuity. This finding suggests that supplementation with retinal carotenoids could be a promising therapeutic approach for albinism, as it may increase macular pigment density, leading to improved visual acuity.
