A few days ago, media reported that a pair of parents and their 5-month-old daughter in the UK were using their mobile phones to take family photos. They forgot to turn off the flash of their mobile phones and unexpectedly discovered that their daughter had abnormal white spots on her right eye. As a result, she went to the hospital for examination.

It was then that I learned that my daughter was suffering from eye cancer, retinoblastoma, and had to have her eyeballs removed, leaving me with regret.

Faced with malignant eye tumors in children, how can parents detect and treat them early to avoid the risk of blindness in their children?

When you take a picture of a child and notice that there is abnormal white reflected light in the pupils, commonly known as "cat eyes", you should be careful of possible symptoms of eye cancer, retinoblastoma.

Taking pictures of children and finding abnormal white reflected light in their pupils, be careful of retinoblastoma. According to statistics from the "Children's Cancer Foundation of the Republic of China", in Taiwan, about 1.5 children get cancer every day.

Among the top ten common childhood cancers in Taiwan, blood cancer has the highest incidence rate, accounting for approximately 1/3. Others include central nervous system tumors, lymphoma, osteosarcoma, neuroblastoma, and retinoblastoma.

In particular, when you take a photo of a child and notice abnormal white reflected light in the pupils, commonly known as "cat eyes", you should be careful of possible symptoms of eye cancer, retinoblastoma.

Retinoblastoma is an intraocular malignant tumor that may cause blindness in severe cases. Among children suffering from eye cancer, the most common is retinoblastoma, which is an intraocular malignant tumor.

If the cause is not found out in time, severe symptoms may be transferred from the optic nerve to the brain, or from the blood to organs throughout the body.

If detected too late, blindness may result.

The occurrence of childhood eye cancer is mainly related to two types: family inheritance and gene mutation. Clinically, about one-third of the cases are due to inheritance of oncogenes from parents, and two-thirds are due to sporadic gene mutations, such as during pregnancy, infants and young children.

Gene mutations occur during this period.
