welcome! It's easiest to tell with a picture of the whole gecko from the top. Based on what I can see, the lighter colored one is an albino (no black pigmentation) stripe (bands run along the body instead of side to side like the other one). There are 3 types of albino and there's no way to tell which type yours is.
The other one still has its juvenile pattern. Eventually the black bands will break up into spots and the spots will move around. If it loses all its body spots it will be a superhypo. If it loses all but 10 or fewer of the body spots it will be a hypo. If it still has a bunch of spots but you can see a lot of yellow, you could call it a high yellow. If it has lots of spots it would be a "normal" or "wild type".

If you mean that there's a vertical black pupil in the middle and the rest of the eye is kind of olive green, that's a regular albino. There are some albino morphs (super snow or eclipse) where the eyes are solid red.
