Suggest Treatment For Lack Of Melanin In Eyes

Hello doc!! My nephew suffers from lack melanin is what is the conclusion of a doctor. It is suggested by him that if an yellow tainted glass is worn he can protected from uv-rays from the sun. But my doubt is that will it also affect the vision. And is there a cure for this kind of a symptom?
