Ocular Oncology
Ocular Oncology: Expert Eye Cancer Care
What is Ocular Oncology?
Ocular oncology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cancers and tumors in or around the eye. These conditions may be benign or malignant, and while rare, they require specialized care. Symptoms often go unnoticed unless a tumor affects eye function. Early detection and expert intervention are key to preserving vision and overall health.
Recognizing the Symptoms
While symptoms vary, common indicators may include:
- Blurred vision or vision loss
- Floaters or flashes
- Eye irritation, pain, or redness
- A visible dark spot on the iris or sclera
- Bulging of the eye
