A child was diagnosed with a rare eye cancer after she was told it was eczema.
Katherine O'Neill, 42, noticed her daughter Amelia had begun rubbing her left eye since being born. Despite this, Amelia passed her sight check so Katherine was advised the redness was a result of eczema and could be eased by putting breastmilk on it.

"Amelia is doing fantastically now. You really wouldn’t notice that she only has sight in one eye." After being born in September
