A person with albinism can not produce melanin, so they have no pigment. This means that they are very susceptible to sunburn and skin cancer. They can still do any outdoor acitivity that they choose, but a lot of sunscreen is necesary.
They also have many eye problems. Eye problems vary from patient to patient, but they include problems with depth perception and particularly bright lights. Typically, glasses can correct many of these problems.
