ALBINISM. WATCH EYE.
The albino is an animal in which there is a complete absence of pigment in the eye. It is usually seen in white races of rats, rabbits and dogs, and both the iris and choroid reflect a pink tint. It may cause photophobia and some weakness of vision but, in the main, it seems to be harmless to the lower animals. In horses it is occasionally seen as a partial defect, a portion only of the iris and adjacent sclerotic appearing of a brilliant white color. It does not usually seem to impair the vision, so that at the worst, it is only looked on as a blemish. It is needless to attempt a remedy.
