Official Title: Clinical Trial to Evaluate Levodopa as Treatment to Improve Vision in Individuals With Albinism
Brief Summary: This project will evaluate the effect of two doses of levodopa (L-DOPA) in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-masked clinical trial to see if vision can be improved in individuals with albinism. The hypothesis is that providing L-DOPA to the retinas of these individuals may increase melanin pigment production. Increased melanin has previously been shown to be associated with improved vision.
