Albinism doesn't affect a person's life expectancy. People with albinism may be limited in their activities because they can't take exposure to the sun, but their overall lifespan should remain unchanged.

In the United States, people with this condition can expect to have a normal lifespan. However, one of the greatest health hazards for people with albinism is excessive exposure to sun without protection, which may lead to skin cancer. Wearing opaque clothes and sunscreen with at least an SPF rating of 30, people with albinism can safely work and play outdoors even during the summer.

∙ 12y agoThe occurrence of ocular albinism (the forms that only manifest as reduced eye pigment) varies among the two genetic types.
For type I, it is about one person in 17000 in the US. For type II, the occurrence is higher among those of African descent: Causasians are 1 in 36000, but for African-Americans 1 in 10000.
Internationally, the frequency in Africa is between 1 in 5000 and 1 in 2000, depending on the region. In Puerto Rico, the frequency of Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (an often fatal condition that includes eye albinism) is as high as 1 in 2700.

∙ 12y agoI've heard a person with Albinism type 1 ,(most common in the United states), live a pretty normal life span. But this also depends what country you are talking about and what type of albinism too.

∙ 9y agoPeople who have albinism can live as long as a healthy person. This condition does not usually affect the lifespan but it can cause health problems that are not deadly.
