If you spot a signs/symptom of childhood eye cancer, have your child’s eyes checked out as soon as possible. The most common signs include a white glow in the pupil of the eye or a squint, where the eyes do not look in the same direction. Visit https://t.co/YlzfsF7Rye.ukfor info

In a photo where one eye has “red eye” (which is normal), the other eye may look black. This can be a sign of retinoblastoma. A fundal (red) reflex test can help to show if further examination is required – so request this test is done by an optometrist or GP#RbWeek

[WSPOS @WSPOS]

Your child’s vision may begin to deteriorate, or they may have had poor vision from birth. You may notice that they don’t focus, fix and follow as well as other children of the same age. You should visit a GP or optometrist and request a fundal (red) reflex test#RbWeek
