Abstract
Objective: To carry out a bibliographic survey on the ocular changes that occur in foveal hypoplasia in albino patients. Methods: This is an integrative review of the literature, where articles were extracted from the SCIELO, PUBMED and SCIENCE DIRECT databases in the period from August to September 2023. The inclusion criteria for the search for scientific productions were available articles in full, online and freely accessible, in Portuguese and English, which refer to the association between foveal hypoplasia or optic nerve hypoplasia with albinism published in the last five years. Results: The results of this research were constructed through the analysis and interpretation of 12 scientific articles in this segment. Thus, albinism is commonly associated with foveal hypoplasia, where there is total or partial failure in the formation and specialization of the foveal fossa. The severity of foveal hypoplasia varies and detection can be improved. Final considerations: Therefore, it was possible to verify that foveal hypoplasia is constantly present, and individuals with albinism generally present delayed visual development, reduced vision, nystagmus, strabismus, transillumination of the iris and absence or reduction of melanin pigment in the fundus.
