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
