About Know The Glow

KnowTheGlow is an awareness organization dedicated to sharing information about the Glow, leukocoria, and the implications of identifying it in vision screenings, flash photos, or other settings. Visible only in certain settings, we aim to build awareness about the more than 20 vision conditions it can indicate, with a special alert for retinoblastoma, cancer of the eye. Working with our partners we hope to help globally eliminate Glow-related preventable childhood blindness through information and education.
