What if I told you that a simple eye exam could save your child\u2019s life? That\u2019s right, a routine check-up of your child\u2019s eyes could reveal a hidden danger you may not even notice. We are talking about retinoblastoma, a rare and aggressive eye cancer that affects young children.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Retinoblastoma<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Retinoblastoma is a rare type of  eye cancer that affects young children. It happens when the nerve cells in the retina develop genetic mutations that cause them to grow uncontrollably and form a tumor. It can cause partial or total blindness in the affected eye. It is life threatening when it spreads to other organs like brain , spine . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retinoblastoma can cause vision loss, eye removal, and even death if not detected and treated early.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are The Types of Retinoblastoma?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Retinoblastoma can be classified into three types based on whether it affects one or both eyes and whether it is inherited or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNILATERAL RETINOBLASTOMA:  <\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is when the cancer is found in only one eye. It is the most common type, making up 60% to 75% of all cases.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This type usually has no known cause, but in some cases, it may be due to a genetic mutation that occurs in the child\u2019s eye cells. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
