What are the recommended referral criteria for a patient with suspected oculocutaneous albinism to a specialist?

There are no specific UK NICE guideline referral criteria for suspected oculocutaneous albinism provided in the supplied context. However, in general clinical practice, patients with suspected oculocutaneous albinism should be referred to a specialist, typically a dermatologist or geneticist, for confirmation of diagnosis, genetic counselling, and management of associated ocular and skin complications.

Referral to an ophthalmologist is also important because oculocutaneous albinism commonly involves visual impairment requiring specialist eye assessment and management.

Since the provided guidelines focus on glaucoma and atopic eczema, and do not address oculocutaneous albinism directly, it is recommended to refer patients with suspected oculocutaneous albinism to specialist dermatology and ophthalmology services for comprehensive assessment and management.
