There is actually a huge literature on albinos and vision implications. Everything from development to light damage has been looked at. PubMed has many, many, hundreds if not thousands of articles from case studies to basic research on this subject. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed

If you have any material that you’d feel would contribute, I am sure we could figure out how to integrate it.

Maybe wish you had access to more detailed diagrams.
Perhaps means that they need-be constructed!

BRAVO!!! YOU ARE QUITE HELPFUL TO US HERE IN OUR OPTHALMOLOGY UNIT. WHY IS IT THAT ALBINOS HAVE A GENERALIZED PROBLEM OF VISION AND ESPECIALLY UPON EXPOSURE TO BRIGHT LIGHT?

It is not uncommon to see this in humans and non-human animals and is called heterochromia iridium (members of my family have this). Sometimes the colors are different in the same eye, but other times they are different eyes that results, from changes in the amounts of melanin in the iris of the eye. There are lots of potential causes for this including genetic inheritance, trauma or disease. There is a page on the NIH website here that covers some of the genetic causes from a disease perspective: http://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/GARD/QnASelected.aspx?diseaseID=8590 and the Wikipedia entry is actually pretty good that covers more of the genetics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum

I’ve seen it before and it just looked unnatural. Any ideas.

Thanks, D

This is a pretty common effect that some algorithms use for face detection algorithms.

Here’s a question for you considering your ‘eye specialty…I was watching a ghost investigation program the other day and whilst the camera was using infra red night vision I noticed the eyes of the presenters exuded a strange ‘glaze’ across the face of the eyeball. It almost looked like cataract, a cloudy look to the eye – do you know why this effect is presented when viewing the eye using infra red?
