Retinal Cancer treatment in San Luis Potosí

Retinal cancer is a tumor that arises in the retina, the layer of the eye responsible for capturing images. Its best-known form in childhood is retinoblastoma, although other types can also occur.

Signs to watch for: A whitish reflection in the pupil when light hits it, a turned eye, or changes in vision; in young children, the family is usually the one who notices them.

When to seek care? Any of these signs warrants a prompt evaluation, since timely examination of the eye is important.

Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist examines the retina and, when a tumor is confirmed, the oncologist takes part in the management. If you notice an unusual reflection in your child's eye, discussing it with these specialists is the right step.
