about a month ago, someone posted a picture of a small child with concerns about this disease. the dr. on the forum told them to have the child checked asap. any update about that child and was it retinoblastoma? my thoughts and prayers are with the family and child.

There has been no further posting and we have not learned what the ophthalmologist found. The person posting said she would give us some follow up so hopefully we will find out (and it will be good news).

One child that had a photo showing a "dark" reflex rather than a "white reflex" has an eye muscle problem (esotropia).
