ALBINISM AWARENESS DAY Albinism is an inherited genetic condition that determines the amount of melanin pigment formed in the skin, hair and/or eyes. Albinism occurs in all racial and ethnic groups throughout the world. In the U.S., approximately one in 18,000 to 20,000 people have some type of albinism. In other parts of the world, the occurrence can be as high as one in 3,000. Most children with albinism are born to parents who have normal hair and eye color for their ethnic backgrounds. There are different types of albinism. The amount of pigment in the eyes, hair and skin varies with each person. A common myth is that people with albinism have red eyes. Most people with albinism have blue eyes, hazel eyes or brown eyes. Lighting conditions can allow the blood vessels at the back of the eye to be seen, which can make the eyes look reddish or violet, but it's only the lights reflection on the blood vessels. People with albinism are affected by photophobia (look it up) and vision problems. #lessonfortheday #avaclarke #iamwhoiam #albinism #raiseawareness #albinismawareness #internationalalbinismawarenessday #albinismisbeautiful #inmyskiniwin @jaytayphotography
