The Red Eye Effect Makes a Picture Worth a Thousand Words Did you know that a photo could provide valuable and life-saving information about the health of a child’s eyes? Paying close attention to photos of children can reveal both common and rare eye problems. We can see them in the reflection of the camera flash off the retina, also known as the red reflex. What Do Red Eyes in Photos Mean? A red reflex happens when the flash of a camera lights up the blood-rich retina. If the eyes are looking directly at the camera lens and the color of the reflex in both eyes is red, that’s usually a good sign that the retinas of both eyes are unobstructed and healthy. When a Camera Flash Turns Eyes White, Yellow or Black in Photos. An abnormal red reflex is a white, yellow or black reflection in one or both eyes. This can be a warning sign for the presence of an eye condition. An ophthalmologist can diagnose these conditions. Be sure that: * the child looks directly at the camera lens * the camera flash is on * the background is dimly lit, and * red-eye reduction is off If you do spot an abnormal red reflex, bring the photo to your child’s pediatrician or your ophthalmologist. #retinoblastoma #eyedoctor #shorts #eyehealth #health Please SUBSCRIBE for new #eyedoctor #doctor #shorts videos! https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCGqIyXbPEu7xlsZj7oZG5Yg#menu Let’s connect 💕 IG https://m.instagram.com/eyegirlmd TikTok https://vm.tiktok.com/eyegirlmd
