The eyes of an animal with albinism occasionally appear red due to the underlying retinal blood vessels showing through where there is not enough pigment to cover them. In humans this is rarely the case, as a human eye is quite large and thus produces enough pigment to lend opacity to the eye, often colouring the iris pale blue. However, there are cases in which the eyes of an albinistic person appear red or purple, depending on the amount of pigment present.

What is albinoism?
People with albinism have little or no pigment in their eyes, skin, or hair (white skin, hair, no eyebrows or eyelashes and pale blue eyes or pale pink eyes, but can be violet or brown). They have inherited genes that do not make the usual amounts of a pigment called melanin. One person in 17,000 in the U.S.A. has some type of albinism. Albinism affects people from all races. Albinos must protect their eyes from the sunlight. Albinos use to stick to themselves simply because society seems to have a problem accepting them or will at least stare at them and treat them "different." In todays world they are healthy in every way, intelligent and can lead normal lives.

Are albinos white?
Albinos are not necessarily white. Albinism refers to a lack of pigmentation, and the level of this lack may vary. For example, some groups of African people who have a high percentage of albinism are not white, but their lack of dark pigment makes their paler skin more obvious. Sometimes, albinos are characterised by lack of pigmentation in just their hair or eyes, or their skin and not their hair or eyes. So no, not all albinos are white.
