What/ is there a connection between a White Tiger's white fur and blue eyes/ eye color?

Albinoism is genetic flaw which gives the animal in question a lack of melanin (the pigment that gives coat, skin, and eye color to the animal.) A complete albino is one which produces no melanin at all. These animals have pure white coats, bright pink skin, and very light pink eyes. However albinoism can be a matter of degrees as not all albinos are complete, some do produce some melanin, just well below what is considered normal. These animals are born with white fur which may turn yellow as they grow older. They also can have blue eyes.What/ is there a connection between a White Tiger's white fur and blue eyes/ eye color?
Yes. Both are signs of albinism. Furthermore, albinism generally leads to problems with the visual system.
