Today, my elderly neighbor along with our community church's priest came to my house and demanded to "give them the girl". The girl is my 3-year-old daughter, who has natural born red irises and is photo-sensitive. And yes, we are also Romanian. FML

Being a Romanian, I can definitely feel your pain OP. I used to work nights because I hated the sun lol. As for their exorcism on the girl...just do it when she reads Twilight.

Westboro hates everyone. I don't think that would make a difference.

Still a better story than "Twilight." No, wait, that IS the story of "Twilight!" Is she sparkly like Edward?

It happens with some albinoes. She could be either compltely albino or just partially.

Actually there is NO recorded case of a natural red iris. However albinos eyes can give off a red hue but only because they lack pigment to give off a "real" color. What you are seeing is the blood vessels in the eye itself. So either OPs daughter is a medical marvel, or affected by the aforementioned lack of pigment.

why the **** do you expect OP to post "my daughter born with no pigment in her eyes so it gives the illusion of being red but really their colorless"

I had forgot about the appearance of an albinos eyes! I hope OP replies, I would very much like to know if the kid is an albino. If so, the neighbor and priest's reaction is no better than the sicking superstition seen in many villages throughout Africa!

#76 I did not expect OP to do anything. I was answering number 20's question. Way to over react.

I just want to say that red eye color isn't impossible. Ruby red eye color is unheard of yes, but a lot of people have purple/red eyes. It's a trick of the true eye color against the blood vessels behind it. A few of my cousins have the purple/red eye color(depends on the lighting) even though they are brown kids like me.

There may not be red irises, but maroon is well documented.

The retina of the eye is red. Without pigment to conceal that, the red of the retina is all that you see. Now I'm no medical expert, but this is my belief on this matter. I do ask that, if I'm wrong, someone let me know.
