All I really know is they get sunburned easily and sometimes have bad vision. But what are the other health problems they have? I didnt comprehend anything I read on wikipedia.

In the United States, people with albinism live normal life spans and have the same types of general medical problems as the rest of the population. In tropical countries, those who do not use skin protection may develop life-threatening skin cancers. If they use appropriate skin protection, such as sunscreen lotions rated 20 or higher, and opaque clothing, people with albinism can enjoy outdoor activities even in summer.
There are 2 people with albinism in my family. Other than being legally blind, they are just like everyone else.
