What Is Eye Cancer
Eye cancer usually refers to ocular melanoma, which is cancer developing
from cells called melanocytes that produce the dark coloured pigment of
melanin. The most usual form of eye cancer is uveal melanoma which
occurs in the uveal tract (comprising of the choroid, ciliary body and iris),
although there is also conjunctival melanoma which develops in the lining
over the white of the eye. Eye cancer can also begin in the eyelid.
Eye cancer is a relatively rare form of the disease with between 400 and
450 cases being diagnosed in the UK each year.
Since it is such a rare cancer, the exact cause of eye cancer is not known.
Most eye cancer patients are people in their 50s. Since it is a melanoma,
people more sensitive to the sun such as people with fair skin are more at
risk to developing the disease. People who have more moles are also more
at risk.
The signs of eye cancer are varied, with symptoms often not presenting
themselves until at an advanced stage. Symptoms include: blurred vision,
seeing flashing lights and shadows, double vision, decreased vision and
loss of vision.
The most advance private treatments for eye cancer are available at the
LOC, where our highly trained specialists can help to formulate the best
treatment plan for the disease according to the individual.
