A toddler’s parents were left devastated after a simple white glow in his eye turned out to be cancer. Shane Stevenson, 35, and his partner, Lowri Gallagher, 30, noticed something unusual with their one-year-old son Kooper’s left eye in December 2024. They spotted a white glow, but it was only visible in low light or when they took a picture with the flash on.

Shane initially dismissed it, but after a few days, he noticed it again and took Kooper to the doctor. “My partner first noticed a white glow in Kooper’s eye in low-light conditions. I dismissed it at first and then noticed it myself a couple of days later – then kept seeing it,” Shane explained. The concerned parents Googled it and found advice to take a photo with the flash on, which made the white glow even more obvious, reported the Mirror.
