What is Albinism?
People with albinism have little or no melanin pigment in their skin, eyes and hair. Melanin is important as it creates colour in these areas and protects them against the damaging sunrays. It manifests with very fair skin, light-coloured or white hair and eyes that are extremely sensitive to the sun.
