Aiding the vision in albinism--optical and non-optical means considered.
Not 'Low Vision Aids' alone, but the full range of methods of helping sight in these visually handicapped persons--a much wider range than is generally realised--and which includes many non-optical manoeuvres and various 'gadgets' available to all forms of defective vision, as well as the newer electronic aids is described. The difficulty for the ophthalmologist in knowing how best to help patients with albinism should be resolved by 'customer research'; this paper attempts to do so by analysis of a questionnaire to members of the Albino Fellowship.
