Sight Problems from Albinism?

Is it true that albino snakes tend to have vision problems? I'm trying to solve why my nearly yearling albino thayeri x nelsoni x pueblan is such a freaker. He's okay with REALLY slow movements, but I tend to see that he only picks up on movement and doesn't investigate at all like my grey banded. Having half the sight of a normal snake seems like a good explanation. I don't knowk, it may just be the milksnake in him, but he has some size and should have reasonably calmed a bit by now....

P.S. I'm pretty new to this, so go easy on me! I have read a considerable amount about colubrids, including most of the king milk and hybrid forums.
