You likely have come across the "red eye" in pictures. This red eye reflection is a normal reflection of light from the inside of the eye. There are certain eye conditions that can cause a dim red reflex, or even a white reflex called leukocoria. Leukocoria can be sign of a rare eye cancer found in children called a retinoblastoma. This video will go over why you might see this white reflex. Also the signs, symptoms, and treatments of a retinoblastoma.

Its heritable or germline cases and non-heritable or somatic cases are also discussed where the consequences related to RB1 gene are reported.

One is the endophytic retinoblastoma which develops towards the vitreous cavity while the other is the exophytic retinoblastoma which is observed between the sensory Retina and retinal pigment Epithelium. Furthermore, Reese-Ellsworth classification comes under consideration along with ICRB classification.
