Cure

Because this is a genetic disease,, there will be no cure for albinism, only treatments to make the symptoms less severe.

Orginazations

Here are some great websites and organizations that can help you learn more about albinism and support groups.

Everyday Life and limitations

Thankfully, albinos can grow up to live perfectly normal lives. They can have any job they want and grow up to be very successful.

The only limitation for albinos is the fact that because of their low vision, it is difficult for them to drive. If they are said to have good enough vision from an eye test, then they are allowed to drive. Sometimes glasses or other seeing devices are needed but besides that, they can be allowed to drive.
