    Chicago area

    Grwoing up I knew I had vision issues and in school it was constantly pointed out by other children that i was "white".  Doctors had refered to the albinism, but usually that made me just more uncomfortable and reminded me of how I felt being picked on in school.  I am now 32.  I have two children of my own and am interested in finding out more about albinism for myself and my family.  Unfortunately, I found this website just short of the conference!  Is there anyone in the Chicago area.  Southwestern suburbs to be more exact.  I am also interested in finding out more about my vision and what is available for me.  As a child i was constantly having my eyes checked.  I still currently see a doctor about every 2 years or so, but I am interested in finding out if there is someone with more specialization for me.  Any help would be great!

    Erin,

    Welcome to NOAH.  I believe there is a local chapter of NOAH in the Chicago area.  If interested, email info@albinism.org and they should be able to get you in contact with someone in your area.
