retinoblastoma in adults?

I constantly have the red-eye/white-eye effect in my pupils in nearly every photograph taken of me. I read that retinoblastoma may be the reason for this, but it seems to only affect young children. Can it also affect 22 years olds? If it isn't retinoblastoma, could it be something else? It just seems very odd that this is a constant occurrence.

It would be very unusual to have RB at your age but it has been reported. There are other causes as well. See an Eye MD ophthalmologist. Take in some of the photos that show the white pupil. if the exam is normal don't worry and use a software program to put normal pupils in your eye.  Find an Eye MD at www.aao.org
