As of now, albinism cannot be cured.
This is because albinism is a hereditary disorder and the cause lies at the genetic level. To change the genetic code of each and every cell of the body is an impossible task. That is why, there is no cure for albinism yet but hopefully in the near future, scientists may be able to control the genetic make-up of an individual.
