I'm surprized it took so long to diagnosis this. I have been told there is a surgey to slow the eyes down. As the child gets older the movement w/therapy will really help to slow down the movement. I notice my son tilts his head a certain way at times to help focus. As far as the light not sure,my son also has occular albinism and the light is very bad for his eyes and skin but he wont keep a cap or sunglasses on anymore!Good luck and do some research if you can get the answeres here. It's not real common. Good luck to you.
