Retinitis Pigmentosa is a hereditary degeneration and atrophy of the retina. It is usually progressive and leads to reduced peripheral vision that causes tunnel vision, night blindness and loss of vision. This disease affects children and young adults. In Albinism there are defects in the pigmentation of the hair, skin and eyes. In ocular albinism, only the eyes are affected. This may be associated with photophobia (aversion to light), decreased visual acuity, nystagmus (constant jerky movement of the eyes) and refractive errors. Anridia is a congenital condition where the iris is absent. Coloboma of iris/choroid is the absence of either of these structures, due to developmental abnormalities.
