NOW CLOSED Do you have a child aged 0-6? Take part in a survey about children's eye health and be in with a chance of winning £200 M&S vouchers

[NewGirlHelenMumsnet]

The Childhood Eye Cancer Trust has asked us to find out what Mumsnetters think about children's eye health.

Please take a few minutes to complete this short survey. It is open to all UK Mumsnetters with at least one child aged 0-6 years.

If you have more than one child aged 0-6 please think about your eldest child aged 0-6 when answering the questions.

Everyone who takes part and enters their details at the end will be entered into a prize draw to win £200 of Marks & Spencer vouchers.

Thanks and good luck with the prize draw!

oblomov don't be ashamed - our -useless- GP didn't know that white reflex could be a sign. DH had to show him on the internet. [Hmm]

Mind you, this is the GP who told me I needed to, "get a job", to get over my particularly bad PND.

[deepfriedcupcake]

Done.

[Nyx]

Done.

[saidthespiderwithahorridsmile]

done:)

[Oblomov]

Done. Knew nothing about it, ashamed to say. Even though I know a bit about eyes generally, because ds1 is cross eyed and has had patching done. But I knew nothing about this. Should be in the Birth to 5 book, I think.

[LilRedWG]

I'm glad this is being bought to people's attention. We had a scare with 3 month old DS a week ago. Luckily he is fine, but could so easily have not been. The consultant said that white reflex should ALWAYS be checked out urgently.

[NewGirlHelenMumsnet]

coffeekaren - don't worry - you're in!

[coffeekaren]

done - but also unsure if went through as 'internet problem sign' came up.

[Blatherskite]

Done

[SouthGoingZax]

Done. Great website too. Thanks for highlighting this - I now feel like I have been educated and would know much better what to look for.

[trixymalixy]

Done, I also first heard about eye cancer on mumsnet

[MrsKitty]

Done. The first, and only time I've heard about childhood eye cancer was from a thread on MN (cue DH's regular call of "Is that something else you've learnt on Mumsnet?")

[thederkinsdame]

Done

[EustaciaVye]

Done.

[Meglet]

done.

[heliumballoons]

Done.

Sorry about the essay about why I took DS to optitions . We are a family of glasses wearers I'm afraid.

On a good note though DS saw optitions the other day who is going to check him again in 6 months and may start to lower the perscription in his glasses. He may not need them in the future.

Yes - if you'd like to know more - the link to the charity website is in the OP, please look at it after you've done the survey though as we'd like to know what you think before now!

They also say you can email [email protected] if you'd like a support worker to answer any questions or concerns about the condition/ eye health in children. MNHQ
