"They would not find me changed from him they knew - only more sure of all I thought was true."

~Robert Frost

 

Genetics defines the condition and you might want to consider contacting NOAH.

National Organization for Albinism and Hypopigmentation -- contact information is available using the 'Search' option.

If your husband has been evaluated by an ophthalmologist (MD), there should be patient information provided by the physician. I would not consider an optometrist as being qualified.

Another specialty that you might want to consider is a geneticist that can provide a better understanding of the condition. It is not common but a medical center with a residency in ophthalmology will have the most up to date information.

This web site should help you. In addition there are links to various organizations that you can contact that deal with ocular albinism.
