Should I ask for a second opinion?

My DS, who is 16wks, had a white eye in a photo a few weeks ago and was sent to a specialist. He had pupil dilation and they said they couldn't see anything wrong.

I wasn't worried because it was only one photo. However, over xmas, three more photos have shown my DS with a white eye. Different cameras too.

This is really scaring me, should I stop worrying and take the consultant at his word or go back?

i would maybe see if you can ring the consultant and just say that you're still worried and can he reassure you that the pupil dilation etc would have definitely shown if there was a problem?

Is it the same eye?

I'd ask to take the photos in and get it reassessed.

If there was anything there, it would have been seen when they dilated his pupils, so please try to stop worrying
