My 5 year old has a white pupil in this pic

I have had millions of photos taken of my daughter and I have taken millions as well with this camera. But this picture I took of her today worries me. Do you see anything I should worry about or do you think it might of been just the angle of the picture? It is Friday night and cant take her to her doc. over the weekend.

Savanna went to a  board-certified ophthalmologist  today and had her eyes dilated and checked. Her eyes are 110% healthy and her vision is perfect. No need for glass's and everything is in tack. Thank you much for your help as well.

LOL our fat head is the most stupid stubborn dog I have ever met. But when it comes to our 2 kids he is the most sweet and kind dog ever. But protects them to the max. He is my husbands service dog. I found a place to take my daughter too and will make a appointment on Monday :)

No things that are serious almost always get worse over time so that if those bumps have been there since she was a baby and not changed it is not a problem.

The Missouri high school I went to had an English Bulldog as a mascot. Can't say it brought us a good deal of luck in sports.

Thank you for the information. I will make a appointment just to make sure. LOL that is our fat head dog . He is a English Bulldog , either you love them or dont. I think he is so ugly he is cute.  Again thank you very much . Oh one last thing , ever sense she was a baby her glands on her neck above her collar bones have always stuck out , the doctors always say it is just because she is built so small. Would that go hand and hand if there is something wrong with her eye?

Well it is a "white reflex" if she seems normal and is not sick its not an emergency. However you should ask your pediatrician to refer you to an ophthalmologist for a dilated eye exam.  The odds are its just a variation of the more common "red reflex" that appears all the time in the pupil But do not make that assumption and not have her examined. Cute girl, can't say that about the dog.
