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. Retinoblastoma is mainly found in children 3 years and younger, and can get it in one eye or both eyes. It's caused by a genetic mutation, and can be inherited. The two hit hypothesis explains it can be both inherited and also have another genetic mutation. The red reflex test can be important in detecting a retinoblastoma in your children.
