There's an article here that makes a valiant stab at describing how people with albinism see the world. Literally.

Since, obviously, I've never seen the world WITHOUT albinism, I'd be curious to hear what people who do not have albinism make of it.

I'm nearsighted and astigmatic, and for the most part things aren't blurry. I'd say they fade out sooner than they did when my vision was better: someone will point out, say, a bird in a tree some distance away, and it's not that the bird is a blurry spot instead of an identifiable mockingbird or at least obviously a bird shape, it's that I can't pick it out at all.

(Blurriness happens when I'm tired, or when the eye doctor is trying out different lenses for me.)
