Ocular Oncology and Eye Tumors

Tumors that affect the eyes are referred to as ocular tumors or eye tumors. Malignant (cancerous) or benign (non-cancerous) cells that are developing abnormally together form tumors (noncancerous). The most common kind of eye cancers are those that have spread to other organs. Ocular oncology is the study and treatment of malignancies in or near the eyes. These tumors can cause vision loss or the loss of the eye itself and range in severity from benign to life-threatening. The field of ocular care for persons with eye cancer is distinct. The issues encountered undoubtedly differ from those in a typical ophthalmology practice.
