Abstract:

Two clinical cases of children with foveal hypoplasia and high visual acuity examined using optical coherence tomography are presented. Genetic examination found oculocutaneous albinism type 1 in one patient. Potential causes and functional value of foveal hypoplasia are discussed. Contacts: А.А. Шпак a_shpak@inbox.ru
