Concerned???
What to do if you think your child is exhibiting the Glow!
Step 1: Go to a dimly lit room, give the child's eyes time to adjust, and take a flash photo.
Step 2: Cover the non-glowing eye and ask the child to point to an object in a book.
Step 3: Bring your photos with you to your pediatrician, make clear what you are noticing, and ask for the red eye reflex exam to be done.
