It is a genetic disorder which is characterized by the inadequate production of the pigment melanin. PubFacts seeks to make the world's scientific research easy to locate, access, and collaborate on. In plants, albinism is characterised by partial or complete loss of chlorophyll pigments and incomplete differentiation of chloroplast membranes. Albinism is associated with a number of vision defects, such as photophobia, nystagmus, and amblyopia. Lack of skin pigmentation makes for more susceptibility to sunburn and skin cancers. Ocular straylight is a phenomenon where parts of the eye scatter light, creating glare. It is analogous to stray light in other optical systems; scattered light reaches the retina but does not contribute to forming a correct image. Oculocutaneous albinism is a form of albinism involving the eyes (oculo-), the skin (-cutaneous), and according to some definitions, the hair. Overall, an estimated 1 in 20,000 people worldwide are born with oculocutaneous albinism.
