Best Answer

Albinos have red eyes due to red retina being visible through the iris as their eyes do not enough pigments to color the eye. Due to a translucent iris and poor absorption of light by retina, light is scattered in the eye exposing the blood vessels underneath. That makes the eyes of an albino to appear red.

The dark pigment in both eyes and skin serve the same purpose: protection from ultraviolet (UV) rays. People with dark skin usually have ancestry in tropical or subtropical latitudes, where UV rays are more intense. Having dark skin and dark eyes will allow greater protection from UV rays, reducing the chances of conditions such as skin cancer and blindness and increasing survival rate.

It probably because of the environment. And the sun back in Africa is so harsh that it causes dryness to the eyes..
