Definitions
Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- Having pink eyes, literally, as a white mouse or rabbit. This is the usual color of the eyes in albinism, whether accidentally occurring or artificially produced. It is due to the absence of the natural pigment of the iris and choroid, which are then tinged alight-red color by the blood in the minute vessels.
- Having small or blinking eyes.
GNU Webster's 1913
- adj. Having small eyes.
