       Hi, I have Ocular albinismI have hinted at having vision issues on here but haven't been specific. As much as you shouldn't need to explain your disability to anyone, beyond explaining your needs,  I think it is good to be open about such things. Some of the light receptors in my eyes are missing pigment which means that they don't activate properly (Ocular = eye, albinism = albino = lacking pigment)I have 20/200 vision (corrected and averaged across both eyes, left < right)

       My focus and colour vision are both pretty good.  Mainly where I have problems is visual acuity and low light.I need more light in order for my eyes to get enough information (which is annoying because I am also light sensitive) about what I am seeing and I have a hard time seeing detail in things that are small or far away My typical explanation is that normal people have HD/4k eyes and I see in standard def. Things need to be bigger in order to see details.

       My eyes also move in an attempt to get a better view on things (I don't notice this  happening). If i'm tired I can end up subconsciously shaking my head. I have a lazy eye because my right eye is much better than my left. This also means I have poor to no depth perception andcan'tsee 3D movies. I also have an astigmatism which means that I tend to roatate my head because it's easier to differentiate things vertically than horizontally
