There is no cure for albinism, but there are ways to minimize the problems a person with albinism will experience. Doctors will recommend sunglasses with the highest possible UV protection to reduce damage from sunlight. People with ocular forms of albinism usually need strong prescription glasses, as well. In addition to UV-protective clothing, people who exhibit the rapid eye movement issues associated with the condition may require surgery.
