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.
