Albinism itself does not cause "sunlight vision," but it can lead to a range of visual impairments due to the lack of melanin in the eyes. Individuals with albinism often experience issues like nystagmus (involuntary eye movement), strabismus (crossed eyes), and reduced visual acuity.
Additionally, because melanin helps protect the eyes from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) light and plays a role in the development of the retina, people with albinism may be more sensitive to bright light and are at an increased risk for eye conditions such as photophobia (light sensitivity) and may have greater difficulty seeing in bright sunlight.
While those with albinism do not usually experience "sunlight vision," they may struggle with visual clarity in bright environments and are often advised to use sunglasses or hats to reduce exposure to intense light.
