An Albino is medically termed Albinism. Usually people or animals with oculocutaneous Albinism or light colored eyes have photophobia, simply put light sensitivity. The less pigment you have in your eyes, the lighter your eye color is, the more prone you are to have Photophobia. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001479.htm
