Cataract surgery with implantation of small aperture acrylic hydrophobic IOL to reduce photophobia in a patient affected by oculocutaneous albinism
Key Points
Photophobia significantly decreased following cataract surgery with acrylic hydrophobic IOL implantation.
The patient experienced a notable improvement in visual comfort 3 months post-operation.
Cataract surgery was performed with the specific aim of reducing light sensitivity related to oculocutaneous albinism.
Further exploration may be warranted for broader applications in similar cases with albinism.
