Do albinos really have red eyes?

They do not have any pigments so skin, hair and eye colours, which is caused by pigments such as melanin are not present. The iris of your eye, the coloured part is the what is affected and so appears red as you see the blood vessels normally covered by the pigments. The lack of the iris affects vision and most albinos have severe vision imperment...its the case too with blue/light coloured eyes that let more light into the eye and they see better in low light situations but can have issues in places with strong sunlight.
