Choroidal Metastases

Choroidal metastases are cancerous cells that spread to the choroid, a layer of tissue in the eye located beneath the retina. This can happen when cancer from another part of the body, like the breast or lung, spreads through the bloodstream. Symptoms may include blurred vision, changes in vision, or seeing spots. Diagnosis typically involves eye exams and imaging tests. Treatment options may include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies, depending on the original cancer type. Early detection is important to manage symptoms and preserve vision.
