Answers:
The primary issue is the lack of melanin resulting in an underdeveloped RPE!. This leads to foveal hypoplasia, or a less-developed fovea, the center of one's retina!.

Albinistic people are also more prone to a host of visual problems- nystagmus, myopia, astigmatism, extreme photophobia, optic hypoplasia!.!. the list goes on and on!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
