A member asked:

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?

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.
