Abstract:
The author has experienced two cases of complete generalized albinism, inherited as an autosomal recessive trait that occurred on sisters who had poor vision, photophobia, nystagmus, and hypopigmentation of hair and skin. Several ocular examinations including visual field, color sense and dark adaptation were performed and fundus changes were described in this report with brief relating literature.
