  • Title: [Eye movement disorder in albinos (author's transl)].
    Author: Wildberger H, Meyer M.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1978 Apr; 172(4):487-90. PubMed ID: 651217.
    Abstract:
    Recent studies have shown misdirected optic fibres in albinotic animals to the lateral geniculate body, to the visual cortex and to the superior colliculi. Since a similar anomaly was found anatomiclly and neurophysiologically in human albinos, an oculography was performed in 10 albinos. The results were identical to those found in the so called congenital nystagmus. It remains doubtful that the misdirection is an explanation for the nystagmus in albinotic humans.
