I saw these pics of Cateyes's great nephew on her thanksgiving thread:

& it reminded me of this:

So I looked this up (among other things):

I'm not convinced this is a threat in this situation, but since the thought crossed my mind, I'm hoping others will look at this and say it looks normal so I don't have to worry about whether I should have said something. KWIM?

Well at least both are reflecting red. According to the second post that is normal. But this is something I will def keep in mind when I finally start taking pics of my baby when she gets here.

In the right (or I guess "wrong") lighting, I can get a roomful of people with red eye like that.

I do examine every single picture I take because of that story though.

My aunt had cancer in her eye. When you took pics of her only 1 eye would come with the red adn the other eye would look normal. It was the eye with the cancer that looked normal.
