Yes, albinism is a permanent condition. It's a genetic disorder that results in the absence or reduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin, hair, and eye color. This lack of melanin leads to several physical characteristics associated with albinism, including light skin, hair, and eyes, and often, visual impairment.
While albinism itself doesn't get worse over time, some associated conditions, such as visual impairment, can require ongoing management. For instance, people with albinism may experience permanent vision loss, but this doesn't usually deteriorate over time.
Individuals with albinism face various challenges, including discrimination and heightened risk of skin cancer due to their sensitivity to sunlight. However, with proper care and support, they can lead long, healthy lives.
