Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of Red Reflex

No need to be concerned.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.
Iam Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.
I reviewed your history and the photos attached with the question.
The red reflex in left eye is appearing white and yellow in some photos. This requires dilatation and fundus photo to rule out abnormal conditions of the eye affecting lens or retina.
Since two eye doctors have done this and they have told as normal, no need to worry.
This is probably because of effect of flash of camera creating optical illusion.
Hence no need to worry.
If possible send me fundus photo if it was taken by your eye doctor so that I can confirm that the retina is normal and there is no problem.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
With regards


Red reflex cannot be missed by ophthalmologist.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for the follow up question.
From the explanation you have provided here it is clear that your doctors have done indirect ophthalmoscopy. This test will identify any problems of the retina which will cause altered red reflex. This will not be missed. Hence no need to worry, your daughter is fine.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards
