  3. Health Challenges for Persons with Albinism Skin Health:Persons with albinism have little to no melanin pigment in their skin, which means they are more susceptible to sunburn, skin cancer, and other skin conditions. Vision:Albinism can cause a range of vision problems, including nystagmus, strabismus, and astigmatism. Many persons with albinism also have reduced visual acuity and are sensitive to light.

  4. Hearing: Some persons with albinism may experience hearing loss, either because of the underlying genetic condition or because of repeated ear infections. Mental Health: Persons with albinism are often subject to stigma and discrimination, which can impact their mental health and wellbeing.

  5. Strategies for Enhancing Wellbeing Sun Protection:Using sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding direct sunlight during peak hours can help protect the skin of persons with albinism. Vision Support:Vision support tools such as glasses, contact lenses, and magnifiers can help persons with albinism overcome visual challenges.
