What Can Cause White Glow From Pupils?

If a child has a white glow from the pupils in his eyes ... can it be a normal thing? I was just listening to a news show about a child with this symptom who had cancerous tumours and then googled it and see that there are many things that could be wrong. I have to pass this news on to my sister who is the gramma of the child in question and I must say I've never before seen a white glow from any other eyes.

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.


I reviewed your history.
White glow from the pupil is always abnormal. This requires examination of the eye to ru;e out causes like cataract, glioma and pseudoglioma.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination without much delay.


Thank you
