Advice needed re. white pupil in photograph

3 replies

I was recently sent some pics of my DD taken last summer and amongst them I came across a photo taken of DD1 last August in which her right pupil appears to be white. I understnad that this can be a sign of retinablastoma.

The thing is that since then there have been no similar photos taken and also now that it is almost 1.4 years since the photo was taken I presume that there's nothing wrong and it's a photographic anomaly. Also I presume we'd have seen it in other photos or she would have presented other symptoms by now?

I have "tested" her eyesight in that eye getting her to cover the normal eye and asking her to identify pretty small images all with 100% success.

Shoud I get it checked out.

She was 23 months at the time of the pic and almost 3.3 now.

It sounds like she's fine tbh, but If it were me., I'd want to make sure, and I'd go to the docs to allay my fears.

Would an optician be able to tell?

I'd have thought that an optician would be able to check her eyes. Take the photo with you when you go.
