Social and emotional factors. The reactions of other people to those with albinism can often have a negative impact on people with the condition. Children with albinism may experience name-calling, teasing or questions regarding their appearance, eyewear or visual aid devices. Many people with albinism find the word albino hurtful because they're being labeled simply on the basis of looks rather than being thought of as individuals.
Albinism is a genetic condition where people are born without the usual pigment (color) in their bodies. Their bodies aren't able to make a normal amount of melanin, the chemical that is responsible for eye, skin, and hair color. So most people with albinism have very pale skin, hair, and eyes. Albinism can affect people of all races, and there are different kinds of albinism. Some people with a condition called oculocutaneous albinism have extremely pale skin and eyes, and white hair. Others with this same type of albinism might have slightly more color in their hair, eyes, or skin. For some people, albinism affects only their eyes. This is known as ocular albinism. People with ocular albinism usually have blue eyes. In some cases, the iris (the colored part of the eye) has very little color so a person's eyes might look pink or reddish.
