What could cause an 8 year old to get retinal lesions?

Multiple Causes: "retinal lesions" is a very broad term, describing pretty much any finding located in the retina. The broad categories include infection, inflammation, trauma, benign and malignant tumors, inherited diseases, or manifestation of systemic conditions. To answer your question better, it would help to know more details about symptoms and type of lesions that were seen.
