Well, only in case of bilateral white reflex, its Cataract as its very unlikely for retinoblastma to be bilateral, as for unilateral, its retinoblastma untill proven otherwise

The MOST COMMON cause for the white reflex is Cataract while THE MOST DREADED one is Retinoblastoma.

Ok.
If the Qs doesn't say about Hx, should I have to stick with "cataract" because it is most common one.
And I'll answer "Retinoblastoma" ..... When?
Retinoblastoma 25% is bilateral.
... I don't get it yet. 
Could you explain it a little more, pls.
