“Every day, every week, every month…be aware and alert to the signs of eye disease in children. If a parent reports observing any ocular misalignment or white pupil. (which can be described in myriad ways!)
Please do not dismiss their concerns without examining the child or sending them to someone who can!”
Quoting World Eye Cancer Hope’s post:
“Early detection of retinoblastoma is crucial for saving a child’s life and sight. In this blog, Rb Care Coordinator Sandra Staffieri explores the vital signs and symptoms to watch for.
Prompt investigation can make all the difference. Don’t overlook this important read.
