Macular hypoplasia (or foveal hypoplasia), is a rare medical condition involving the underdevelopment of the macula,[1] a small area on the retina (the eye's internal surface) responsible for seeing in detail. Macular hypoplasia is often associated with albinism.
Other diseases with foveal hypoplasia besides albinism include aniridia, retinopathy of prematurity, and Alport syndrome.[2][3]
