A member asked:
Do albinos have problems seeing?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Albinism: Albinos often have difficulty seeing because of poor development of the retina. Even if glasses are prescribed, the vision may still be limited. The degree of visual difficulty varies from one person to another.
