A member asked:
Are there any good opticians who make glasses for albinos?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most can do it: Optician fabricate eyeglasses based upon the ophthalmologists prescription. The optician makes sure the power is correct and the temple pieces and nose piece fit properly. Some albinos benefit from tinted glasses but otherwise the dominant issue is the refractive power determined by the ophthalmologist.
