“Nystagmus” is an eye muscle that has lost its pigment. Albinism refers to a lack of pigmentation. Eyes need pigmentation in order to function properly. There are also parts that won’t work because they don’t have enough pigmentation.
Mackenzie, despite being legally blind is an excellent college swimmer who hopes to compete in the Paralympic Games 2024.
Her condition has not slowed her down at all
She explained that it is very common in albinos. Nystagmus refers to a loose muscle in the eye.
