Do people with albinism see better in the dark?
Light is needed for the process of vision to be complete–so that is an old wives’ tale. Usually children with albinism have lack of pigment in their eyes as well and sometimes refractive issues, which allow more light to enter the eye and make their eyes more sensitive to bright light and glare, but still they need light to see. To learn more about albinism a good site to visit is the NOAH web site at http://www.albinism.org.
