Its very difficult to tell without knowing the genetics. However the different albino genes, can have different looking eyes.... Judging by the eyes of this gecko, my guess would be that its a tremper.
Ok thanks

His eyes don't look like a Trempers. My trenpers all have very unique silver eyes.

But can't the eye color vary a bit

When the strains were developed they had distinct eye colors. Since then years of selective breeding have gone on and now the eye colors vary a whole lot. They vary so much that it is often no longer a good indicator of the albino strain. I would say that your guy does look like a Tremper but this is absolutely no guarantee. He could be any of the albino strains or have them all mixed in his background. There is no way to tell for sure other than test breeding and you would have to produce 20+ babies with at least one visual female from each albino strain (60+ babies in total) to know for sure. All of the babies would be potential mixed hets which is why breeding geckos with dubious genetic backgrounds is frowned upon. He looks like a healthy guy who has a great home tho!
