Eye Cancer
Eye cancer is a rare malignancy affecting the ocular structures, including the retina, uvea, or conjunctiva.
Symptoms may include vision changes, eye pain, or visible lumps. Early detection allows for interventions such as surgery, radiotherapy, or laser therapy to preserve vision and prevent spread.
Types and Causes of Eye Cancer
Eye cancers may develop from melanocytes or retinal cells, often without clear cause.
- Ocular melanoma: Most common in adults, arising from pigmented cells.
- Primarily affects children and may be hereditary.
- Risk factors: Genetic predisposition, UV exposure, or light-colored eyes.
Symptoms and Early Warning Signs
Eye cancer may remain undetected until noticeable changes occur.
- Blurred or distorted vision
- Visible dark spot or mass: On the iris or retina
- Eye pain or redness
- Protrusion of the eye (proptosis)
Treatment Options for Eye Cancer
Treatment aims to remove or destroy the tumor while preserving vision.
- Surgical removal: Excision or enucleation depending on severity.
- Radiation therapy: Targeted beams to destroy tumor cells.
- Laser therapy or chemotherapy for specific cases.
