A member asked:
What are the long term outcomes of surgery for ocular albinism ? this is for a mild case for 16 month baby boy
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No surgery: There is no surgery to correct the problem. If a muscle imbalance is present, they can do as well as any other patient. If there is strong macular involvement (the center "seeing" part of the retina), this can severly limit central vision as the child gets older. Best to see a retina specialist early.
