She definitely has iris transillumination which is a marker for ocular albinism. She may not even have ocular albinism, but he's never seen anyone with iris transillumination who didn't have OA. OA can be genetic or not. She'll probably have 20/30 or 20/40 vision, but she can still drive a car. She won't wear glasses because glasses would only help focusing and she doesn't have difficulty focusing. He can't explain why she doesn't recognize me when I'm 2-5 feet in front of her. (Of course, when I speak, she jumps, laughs and wants to be picked up.)
We will be on the look out for nystagmus (shaking eyes). If she makes it to a year without the shakes, then she won't have any serious vision problems. Mild OA will be most apparent when she reads...or has difficulty reading. She's 8 months old now - 4 more months to go!
