Panic mode over here. Had my 7 year old for an eye test today after he had been telling me that his eyes are
Sometimes fuzzy or can see black and white. Seemed to pass all the letter tests and the colour test.

She asked to speak to me after test and said that she would like us to come back asap for drops and another retina test as his came back with slight blurring on both retinas. I jumped straight in with do you think he has a brain tumour. (Dramatic I know) she did say that it might be that his retinas are just like that but they would like to double check as they have nothing to compare to with this being his first proper test.

Anyone else has this before?

Hi, don't worry this happened to me too and everything was fine. If there was anything sinister they would have referred straight across to eye hospital.
Try not to worry x
