Don't IGNORE This Sign. EYE CANCER in children #retinoblastoma #eyecancer
Retinoblastoma is a rare type of eye cancer that usually develops in early childhood, before the age of 5. It develops in the retina, which is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that detects light and colour.
In children with retinoblastoma, the disease most often affects one eye. The most common first sign of retinoblastoma is a visible whiteness in the pupil called leukocoria. This is particularly noticeable in dim light or in photographs taken with a flash. Other signs and symptoms of retinoblastoma include crossed eyes or eyes that do not point in the same direction (strabismus), ; a change in the colour of the coloured part of the eye (iris); redness, soreness, or swelling of the eyelids; and blindness or poor vision in the affected eye or eyes.
Retinoblastoma is often curable when it is diagnosed early. However, if it is not treated promptly, this cancer can spread beyond the eye to other parts of the body. This advanced form of retinoblastoma can be life-threatening.
