There is no cure for albinism. Treatment aims to relieve symptoms and depends on the type and severity of the condition. It generally involves protecting the skin and eyes from the sun. Reduce sunburn risk by avoiding the sun, using sunscreen and covering up completely with clothing when exposed to the sun. Sunscreen should have a high sun protection factor(SPF). Sunglasses(UV protected) may relieve light sensitivity. Glasses are often prescribed to correct vision problems and eye position. Eye muscle surgery is sometimes recommended to correct abnormal eye movements(nystagmus).
