Children who present with leukocoria strabismus, hypopyon, heterochromia, rubeosis, hyphema, or an orbital cellulitis should be referred to an ophthalmologist for a dilated fundus examination of both eyes, under general anesthesia if necessary, to rule out the possibility of a retinoblastoma in the differential diagnosis.
