Default Wierd story with a "happy" ending.

Wedding Photograph Saves Sophie Ripley's Life From Tumour |Sky News|UK News

Story of a little girl who was found to be ill.
The part I find a little strange is this... "We noticed Sophie's right eye was blue, like her sister's, and the other black," mum Tracey told the Daily Mirror.

"You get red eye in pictures but this was so strange I took her to the GP to have a look."

This comment was made about a wedding photo.

Im guessing there are holes in the story but seems strange not to notice it in person.
Maybe the flash highlighted it to them?

The colour difference is actually in the retina, so without shining a light straight in you wont see the difference. A distant relative of mine had optic nerve cancer spotted after a having a picture taken. Now I am always checking pictures of me to see if I am dying

There was a similar one about a newsreader - had a lump on his face which a doc viewer spotted and phoned in.
