I would say technecally no, unless however, there is something else going on. For if you have a Tremper Sunglow with dark pigmentation, the spots on the tail can be very dark and almost appear black. Something else that could be possible is having a Tang gecko with "faded" Eclipse eyes - meaning the animal is genetically Eclipse but the pigmentation or lack there of faded as the animal grew older - the eyes of an Eclipse gecko are often silverish and can be mistaken for Albino eyes in some cases. Or, they eyes could just be slightly lighter than normal eyes. Do you have a picture of the gecko in question? If you do, I'm sure we can give you a much better answer :)

No I wasn't able to take a pic. It was from a collection of someone I didn't know all that well. It just weirded me out cause it looks like like the stereotypical SHTCT with a black spotted tail until I saw the eyes. Like whoa lol.

The black spots on the tail was black for sure. I must have looked at it forever. I have a Tremper Albino and their eyes look identical.

I think you are right about the "Tang gecko with "faded" Eclipse eyes ".
