Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As an ophthalmologist, I deeply understand the anxiety a diagnosis of albinism can bring—this test provides the genetic clarity needed to tailor visual rehabilitation, sun protection, and lifelong follow‑up. Every result must be interpreted within the full clinical and family context. I encourage you to maintain open dialogue with your care team.”
