The word cancer feels completely out of our control. But this is one small, powerful thing we can do. This sweet girl @kinsleycookiecart survived retinoblastoma—a rare pediatric eye cancer. And here’s what many parents don’t realize: in many cases, the first sign isn’t found in a doctor’s office… it’s spotted by a parent scrolling through photos. Here’s what to look for: • In a flash photo, a healthy eye reflects red (that “red-eye” we usually try to avoid is actually reassuring) • If something is blocking the retina—like a tumor—the pupil can reflect white instead (this is called leukocoria) One photo with a strange reflection doesn’t mean something is wrong—it can be lighting, eye alignment, even high astigmatism. �But if you notice a consistent white glow in the same eye across multiple photos, that’s your sign to get a full dilated exam with a pediatric ophthalmologist. Take 10 seconds tonight and try the Flash Photo Test. It’s simple, free, and it can save a life. less
