Ocular Tumour

These tumors originate in another part of the body (lung, breast, prostate, etc.) and spread to the eye.

They can start as a small “mole” or “birthmark” in the eye called a choroidal nevus.

These are benign tumors but involve a risk to eyesight as their growth threatens the optic nerve and the macula.

It can be in the form of proton beam radiation or the placement of radiation plaque on the eye to destroy abnormal cells.

It uses drugs to destroy cancer cells or reduce the risk of tumor recurrence.
