Red Eye on photo shows serious health problem?
5 Answers
Dear Answer Bank.
I read somewhere that a person had his picture taken and one eye was red (normal 'red-eye' effect) but the other showed as a strange whitish/yellow colour. Apparantly there was a serious medical condition near or directly behind the eye with the strange colour. It needed an operation.
I have taken a recent picture of a friend and its the same effect. One red-eye....the other a white/yellow tinge. There is no direct light overhead. Could anyone clarify?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Your friend needs to see a doctor and explain the reason he/she is there. Take the photo. It could be something or nothing, but I've read this a few times, most recently how it happened to a little girl who had a tumour behind her eye so the light didn't reflect back properly. She had an operation to remove it, and lost her eye too. Please don't scare your friend with that, but make sure he/she gets it checked out immediately.
