Treatment for Albinism

Treatments for albinism will depend on the severity of the symptoms. As of now there is no cure for albinism. The ultimate aim of any treatment for albinism is to relieve any discomfort and reduce symptoms. Treatment generally includes:

Protecting the skin from the sun by using sunscreen, shielding the skin, wearing sunglasses with UV protection for the eyes or avoiding the sun altogether.
Special UV-proof clothing and swimwear are now available that are more effective in sun protection than ordinary sunscreen.
If you suffer from visual problems as a result of albinism, prescription glasses may be recommended.
In severe cases, eye muscle surgery can correct abnormal movements of the eyes such as nystagmus.
Young children with albinism may require bifocal glasses.
People with photophobia need to wear dark glasses to protect the eyes from sunlight and bright light.
