White-eye effect in photographs?

Postby chopstick » Mon 05 Jan 2009 2:09 pm

Hello all!

I've just got back from a week away for Hogmanay celebrations and on coming back and uploading all my photographs I've noticed that in every photograph where there is red-eye in other people, in my left eye I have white-eye effect.

Is this just be another side effect of my keratoconus, since it is the left eye in which I have it? I know that having white-eye in photographs can often be a sign of having a disease of the retina (I'm such a hypochondriac!), but I wonder if anybody else noticed this in photographs, and if it could just be my KC?

Many thanks!

Why not pop along to your clinic and get somebody to have a look at your eye? That way you will have your mind put at rest.

All the best
