Optometrist's Eye Test Saves Niece's Life from Cancer

A two-year-old girl in the UK was diagnosed with a rare type of eye cancer called retinoblastoma after her aunt, a 37-year-old optometrist, spotted an unusual white glow in her eye during an eye test. The child underwent several rounds of chemotherapy and her tumor has shrunk, but she still requires monthly checkups. The family stresses the importance of parents watching for physical abnormalities in their children and seeking medical attention if anything seems suspicious. Retinoblastoma is a rare childhood cancer that can be difficult to diagnose, but early detection can improve outcomes.
