Question 1

only one eye is red in flash photo, the other white-ish. is that a sign of brain tumor in an adult?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful. : While loss of the light reflex can rarely  indicate there is a mass in your eyeball, brain tumors will typically not cause this. Brain tumors can cause swelling behind the eyes which should not affect how your eyes appear in a photograph. Loss of the light reflex and swelling behind your eyes can both be easily evaluated by visiting your optometrist.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

No: Without any symptoms related to your eyes I would not worry. Focus your attention elsewhere.

Question 3

how long do your eyes take to see after experiencing photo sensitivity?

Accepted Answer

Blurry vision: Return of vision back to baseline after an episode of photosensitivity depends on the cause of the light sensitivity.  You should go see an eye doctor is your vision is worsening or not improving.

Question 4

bright red eyes in a photo, could it indicate a medical condition?

Question 6

why would my eye color change to red in photo?

Accepted Answer

Light direction: Pupils normally look dark, as the direct light path would in fact be from behind your head, which blocks that.  Cameras with a light source closely aligned to the lens, can cause the red eye which is in fact the natural color of the back of the eye.  Lighter, larger pupils are more prone to this.   To eliminate this if you take pictures is tell the subject to look at your shoulder.

Question 7

what could it mean if i have one red eye and one white eye in a photo?

Accepted Answer

Leukocoria: We've all seen people with red eyes in photos (a normal light reflex off the retina, the back of the eye), but when one eye is white (leukocoria), while it may be nothing, it may be the sign of a serious eye problem, like a retinal detachment, or a tumor in the eye.  Please keep in mind that these bad things are very rare, but in any case you should visit your eye doctor for a dilated eye exam now

Question 8

what to do if i had a photo taken of me on christmas and noticed that what to do if i had one red eye and one white eye! is that a bad thing?

Accepted Answer

Eye exam: The difference could be just in the light reflection from positioning of the camera. But it could also be something more serious like a cataract present in one eye. The difference between the two eyes certainly warrants a thorough eye exam by an ophthalmologist, even if you don't notice anything unusual with your vision.

Question 9

Accepted Answer
