📸 Have you ever noticed a white glow in your child's eye in a photo?
Most of the time, red-eye is what we expect to see when a camera flash is used. But occasionally, a white reflection in one eye can be a sign that something isn't quite right.
This is known as a "white pupil" reflex and, while it can sometimes be caused by the angle of the photo, it can also be associated with certain eye conditions that should be assessed by an eye care professional.
The important thing? Don't panic, but don't ignore it either.
If you've noticed a white reflection appearing consistently in photos of your child, it's worth booking a comprehensive eye examination for peace of mind.
Sometimes the smallest clues can help us detect vision and eye health issues early.
