kid's vision problem

A baby was born to my sister . We are Asian , so coloured but the
baby had white hair , skin and even the eyebrows and the eyelids . It
seems an exceptional case in our region to get a baby as if it were
a western child . Now he is 3 years old and the acute problem
with him is that he cannot face the sunlight directly and lowers his
eyes now and then and even he finds it difficult to see things that
are close to him and cannot judge them at the instant. His parents
even the grand-parents didn't have the vision problem ,so as to
associate with hereditary.
Can any expert or specialist in this group help me figure out
the problem and its remedy. I tried at several eye-hospitals but
they keep on referring to other eye-hospitals without any clear
diagnosis.
If anyone wants a clear summary I can even post them his
picture and video of his sighting behaviours so as to get the clear
cut idea .

Please help me .

Although I am not a health professional, it sure sounds like albinism to
me. It is a lack of pigment and can occur in any race. From what I know,
there is no cure. I am not sure if there is any specialty that treats
it. Try looking it up on the internet starting with Wikipedia.

Good luck.

Thanks alot ,
I have figured out that its a genetic disease and occurs to
1 among every 70, 000 and 1 amond 20 is the carrier for the
responsible gene . Its called " oculocutaneous albinism " having
no known treatment and to be more specific its OCAtype 1 a . in which
the person lacks melanin pigment through out the life so the
skin , hair goes white and iris becomes transparent resulting
reduced visual acuity( 20/200 to 20/400) , nystagmus and other eye
problems.
Thans again folks . I wonder if you know any technical treatment
measures for it.,

Can-C carnosine eye drops for cataracts also tackle the bodily process of glycation (also known as cross-linking) – another key factor behind ageing and the development of cataracts. This is where glucose leads to changes and a hardening of tissues over time.
