Retinoblastoma is a rare type of eye cancer that usually develops in early childhood, typically before age 5. This form of cancer develops in the Retina, and typically affects only one eye, although one out of three children with Retinoblastoma eventually develop the cancer in both eyes. The most common first sign of Retinoblastoma is a visible white spot in the pupil, also called a “cat’s eye reflex,” that is noticeable in dim light or in photographs taken with a flash. Other symptoms of Retinoblastoma include crossed eyes, or eyes that don’t point in the same direction. Retinoblastoma is often curable when diagnosed early, but if not treated promptly it can spread beyond the eye to other parts of the body.
