Red & Yellow eyes in flash photos

Question
I noticed on my photos from last night that one of my eyes is glowing red and the other yellow (from flash). What could be causing this and should I be worried?


Answer
Hi Natasha,

The angle at which the light enters the eye will affect the color of the pupil (if your head is turned or tilted usually).  Most of the time the flash glows red, but yellow is not unusual.

If you have any concerns, my advice is to get a complete eye exam.

Hope this helps,
