## Overview[edit | edit source]

Ophthalmology examination and evaluation should be done to confirm the diagnosis. Visual-evoked potential testis used for recognition acuity in children and shows misrouting of optic nerves.

## Other Diagnostic Studies[edit | edit source]

* Ophthalmology examination and evaluation should be done to confirm the diagnosis[1]
* Iris translumination is identified on slit-lamp examination
* Visualization of choroidal blood vessels may be present on fundoscopic examination
* Visual-evoked potential tests (VEP)[2]
* This test can be used for recognition acuity in children with albinism
* Misrouting of optic nerves are present in selective VEP exam
