Albinism is a congenital defect in humans which is represented by lack or absence of the pigment in the skin, hair and eyes. People with this condition are more prone to sunburns and skin cancers. They are also more susceptible to vision defects such as photophobia, nystagmus, and amblyopia. The lack of melanin causes them to get sunburn more often and they have to resort to using sunscreen a lot. They have to be extra careful in daytime, while also suffering from vision problems. However, albinism isn’t known to be fatal at all.
