Retinoblastoma

Retinoblastoma is a rare inherited Cancer of the retina, which occurs in infancy. It may affect one or both eyes, and usually present before the age of three either with visual loss, squint or the replacement of the normal red reflex in the pupil with a white reflex. Since these are usually hereditary, and can be cured (and vision preserved) if treated early, the children of affected parents should be screened regularly.
