Will all people with albinism have vision problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most will: The lack of pigment formation can cause the ocular system to no work correctly. Most people with albinistm will function at a very high level but may not have perfect vision. They should protect their eyes with 95% block sunglasses when outside and get a full ophthalmic consult at lease yearly.
