retinablastima

I HEARD THAT IF YOU TAKE A PHOTO OF SOMEONES EYES... IF A WHITE CIRCLE IS IN PLACE OF A RED OR BLACK IRIS THIS COULD BE A CLEAR SIGN OF RETINABLASTIMA. EVERY PICTURE OF MY SON I NOTICED SOMETHING ODD. IN HIS LEFT EYE, WHERE THE PUPIL OR RED EYE SHOULD BE... THERE ARE THREE TINY WHITE CIRCLES.
IN THE RIGHT EYE THERE ARE ALWAYS TWO.
IM A LITTLE UNCLEAR AS THESE SMALL WHITE CIRCLES DO NOT COVER THE WHOLE IRIS.
COULD THIS STILL BE RETINOBLASTIMA?
OR JUST OVERREACTING?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

sorry the photo is best quality i can get. what would be the best description of symptoms of retinablastmas?

[Ray T Oyakawa, MD]

Only very severe cases will show up in a photo as a white reflex rather than the red reflex commonly seen in photo.  There might be other reasons for the the difference in pupil reflections in the photos.  You should take your child to see a pediatric ophthalmologist.

Thanks ray.
more specifically there are 3 small circles forming a honeycomb in the picture. no red reflux. Our surgen stated there was pigmentation our last visit.  Is there a disease similar to which im explaining?
