Yes, people with albinism may undergo eye surgery, particularly to address vision issues commonly associated with the condition, such as strabismus (crossed eyes) or nystagmus (involuntary eye movement). While surgery can help improve alignment and sometimes enhance visual function, it does not cure the underlying vision problems linked to albinism. Each case is assessed individually, and the decision to proceed with surgery depends on the specific needs and overall health of the patient.
