A white pupil can mean something seriously wrong inside the eye. HOWEVER sometimes eyes that are perfect can create a white reflex. Hopefuly the ophthalmologist that checks him will find a normal eye. Let us know.

We have found a number of retinoblastomas, congential and juvenile cataracts, PPHV, toxocara canis, retina colobomas here but many children just turn out to have "funny" reflections causing the problem.
