Retinoblastoma
What are the symptoms?
When a
unilateral tumour is diagnosed in very young children, particularly
during the first year of life, a tumour may subsequently develop in the
other eye so regular eye checks must be undertaken to detect any new
tumours at an early stage.
If only one eye is affected, the child is likely to have normal vision in the other eye and will not need any special help at school. Where both eyes are affected, low vision aids are sometimes necessary to enable the child to attend a mainstream school.
