Persons with albinism who have photophobia (light sensitivity), nystagmus (involuntary rapid movement of the eyes) and translucent scleral and iris tissue have been helped by these contact lenses. I would suggest you contact Dr. Silva at the Wills hospital in Philadelphia and discuss your case with him or one of his associates to get the best information about what the lens is and how it may be different from one developed in St. Louis. You could try calling Dr. Silva at 215.928.3450. John Jeffers, MD is the low vision clinic director and either he or Susan Edmonds, OD could probably help you with your questions. Hope this is helpful to you. Good Luck!
