The iris in the eyes of Albinos
lack the color pigment.

Therefore, their eyes are
highly sensitive to light. The
iris normally protects the
inner eye from getting too much light.

If the iris is not
able to protect the eye from the rays of the sun, it
is difficult to get the contrast in a picture right. The
vision is therefore blurred.

Therefore, it is of utmost importance for Albinos to
avoid the rays of the sun with sun glasses.

People living with Albinism are often visually impaired.
However, the type of disorder (short sighted, long
sighted, blurred vision) differs. Also the effects of
each person’s poor vision on what they personally find
easy and difficult to do varies.

The fact is, people with
Albinism participate in all kinds of sports, some are able
to drive, and many can read normal print.
