Retinoblastoma is a kind of pediatric cancer affecting the eye’s retina. It usually occurs in children under 5 years of age. The retina has layers of cells that detect light and transmit data to your brain, this is found at the back of the eye and helps in visualization. There is a combination of therapies required for the successful treatment of Retinoblastoma, and if it is detected and treated timely, the child can have a tumor-free life. Some of the therapies include Cryotherapy, chemotherapy, radiation and surgery if required. Symptoms for Retinoblastoma include a squint in the eye followed by redness, pain, poor vision, etc. The most common symptom parents notice is the white reflux which is also called the cat’s eye reflux.
