By Mayo Clinic staffSigns of retinoblastoma include:
- A white color in the center circle of the eye (pupil) when light is shined in the eye, such as when taking a flash photograph

When to see a doctor
Make an appointment with your child's doctor if you notice any changes to your child's eyes that concern you. Retinoblastoma is a rare cancer, so your child's doctor may explore other more common eye conditions first.
If you have a family history of retinoblastoma, ask your pediatrician when your child should begin regular eye exams to screen for retinoblastoma.
