For the most part, treatment of the eye conditions consists of visual rehabilitation. Surgery to correct strabismus may improve the appearance of the eyes. However, since surgery will not correct the misrouting of nerves from the eyes to the brain, surgery will not provide fine binocular vision. Tints and sunglasses can help with light sensitivity. Various optical aids are helpful to people with albinism, and the choice of an optical aid depends on how a person uses his or her eyes in jobs, hobbies, or other usual activities.
Some people do well with bifocals which have a strong reading lens.
Others use hand-held magnifiers or special small telescopes. Others use contact lenses. Some use bioptics - glasses which have small telescopes mounted on, in, or behind their regular lenses, so that one can look either through the regular lens or through the telescope. Newer designs of bioptics use smaller light-weight lenses. Optometrists or ophthalmologists who are experienced in working with people with low vision can recommend various optical aids.
