  • Title: Retinal fixation behavior in human albinos.
    Author: Abadi RV, Pascal E, Whittle J, Worfolk R.
    Journal: Optom Vis Sci; 1989 May; 66(5):276-80. PubMed ID: 2748105.
    Abstract:
    The retinal fixation behavior of 17 albinos was examined whilst they fixated a stationary target. An optical system was arranged so that the motion of the target on the retina, due to the nystagmus, could be video-recorded. Eye movements were monitored simultaneously. Eight of the 17 subjects were judged to use consistently a retinal location compatible with the anatomical position of the fovea. The implications of this for subjects with foveal hypoplasia are discussed.
