Hi, I am 20 years old and am in college. I have albinism and
have been driving since I was 16. Everyone told me that I would
never drive, but I didn't listen to them. My vision was able to be
corrected with BiOptics good enough to get a license. I would be
happy to tell you about how I got my license or anything else for that matter.
