It was recently explained to that my 18mo. old w/ocular albinism does not see well, other than close up. The pediatrcian was asking me if he points at things. No he doesnt.I spoke w/his vision therapist about this and she pretty much told me he wont point to the sky cause he doesnt see it. He wont point to things around the house because he doesnt see things unless he Is close up.Would anyone please help me understand what to do to help him in anyway.Its hard to understand what he sees and how I could do the most to accomodate his needs. Please help. Beckie
