👁️ Retinoblastoma & Genetics: Does Family History Matter?
Yes — it can run in families.
If a parent or sibling had retinoblastoma, your child’s risk is higher.

🧬 Early detection makes all the difference — it can save sight and even save lives.
Consult your ophthalmologist if retinoblastoma runs in your family.

⚠️ Public Advisory (PAO):
Be cautious of unproven eye medicines, drops, or gadgets claiming to cure or prevent eye diseases. Always consult your ophthalmologist for proper care.

Retinoblastoma and Genetics: Does Family History Matter?

Yes—retinoblastoma can run in families. Children with a parent or sibling who had the disease have a higher risk.

➡️ Genetic counseling and early screening are crucial for families with a history of retinoblastoma.
➡️ Early detection means better chances of saving sight—and life.

If retinoblastoma is in your family, talk to your doctor about genetic testing.



A PUBLIC ADVISORY FROM THE PHILIPPINE ACADEMY OF OPHTHALMOLOGY: Beware of unproven eye medicine, eye drops, and eye devices that are being peddled as a cure-all or prevention of different eye conditions. Consult your ophthalmologist for the proper care of your eyes.
