BEWARE OF EYE FLASHES

Since young children and infants cannot report eye problems until the age of 7-8 years, it is of great importance that eye examinations are not neglected until this age. In particular, white flashes observed in the pupils of babies can be a harbinger of intraocular cancer called retinoblastoma. 95% of this condition is detected thanks to examinations of children before the age of 5, while its main symptoms stand out as white glare and Strabismus in the pupils.

WHAT IS THE MOST COMMON INTRAOCULAR CANCER?

Although choroid melanoma, the most common tumor in adults, manifests itself with symptoms such as poor vision, flashes of light in the eye, black shadows and curved vision, no symptoms can be observed in a third of patients with this condition. Turkish Prof. Dr. warns that the absence of any complaints in the patient makes it impossible for a person without routine eye examinations to notice the disease.

Radioactive plaque application is prepared according to the needs of the patient, special computer programs are used in its application.
