Macular hypoplasia (or foveal hypoplasia) is a rare medical condition involving the underdevelopment of the macula, a small area on the retina (the eye's internal surface) responsible for seeing in detail and sensing light. Macular hypoplasia is often associated with albinism.
When the foveal area of the eye is compromised, visual clarity and color perception are reduced. Diagnosing is done by an ophthalmologist. The foveal area of the eye is located in the back of the eyeball. It is placed in front of the optic nerve and is responsible for light sensory and visual perceptiveness.
Other diseases with foveal hypoplasia besides albinism include aniridia, retinopathy of prematurity, and Alport syndrome.
