• All patients with albinism should have a baseline eye exam and regular check ups.
• Spectacles can significantly improve the visual impairments of most patients with albinism.
• Wear sunglasses with 100% UVA & UVB protection to prevent sun damage to your eyes and reduce the discomfort of direct sunlight.
• Visit your local healthcare provider for advice on how to get an appointment with the nearest eye nurse or doctor.

People with albinism can live normal life spans. The main risk of early death is from skin cancer which can be avoided with sun protective behavior and regular skin checks. There are no special dietary requirements that need to be followed.

People with albinism should eat a well-balanced diet to help improve their general health status. Fruits, vegetables and nuts rich in antioxidant vitamins such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and E are particularly helpful because they can reduce the damaging effect of the sun on your body.

Albinism is an inherited genetic defect, so it tends to run in families though it can occur spontaneously as an isolated case. To develop albinism you must inherit an albinism gene from your mother and father. As a result of this recessive mechanism of inheritance, it is possible for two normal pigmented individuals to have some children who have albinism and others who do not have albinism.

In families where there is a history of albinism it is not possible to predict whether a particular pregnancy will result in a child with albinism. It is also equally possible for two individuals who have albinism to have children without albinism.
