Ocular albinism primarily affects the eyes, leading to visual impairments such as reduced sharpness, sensitivity to light, and issues with depth perception. It is characterized by a lack of pigmentation in the retina, which can result in abnormal development of the optic nerve pathways. While the condition primarily impacts vision, it may also be associated with other features, such as lighter skin and hair, although these are less pronounced compared to other forms of albinism.

Can someone be part albino?
There are two types of albinism that can be found in a human. The primary type is oculocutaneous albinism, which is what most people think of when they think of an albino. It can exist in various levels of lack of pigment, from a complete lack of any pigment to a varying degree of that lack. It really isn't 'part' albino, but it is not a partial situation. A human being can have ocular albinism, which affects only the eyes and not the rest of the body.

Why does albinism exist?
I think albinism still exists I have heard of some cases about it. Albinism is an inherited condition that is present at birth. Read more at: http://www.answers.com/topic/albinism == Albinism results from the inheritance of recessive alleles. The condition is known to affect mammals (including humans), fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians. The principal gene which results in albinism prevents the body from making the usual amounts of the pigment melanin. Most forms of albinism are the result of the biological inheritance of genetically recessive genes that are passed on from both parents, although some rare forms are inherited from only one parent.
