Choroidal Metastasis

Choroidal metastasis is when cancer cells from another part of the body spread to the choroid, a layer of blood vessels and tissue behind the retina in the eye. This can occur with various types of cancers, commonly those of the breast or lung. Symptoms might include blurred vision, changes in vision, or seeing flashes of light. Diagnosis usually involves a thorough eye examination and imaging tests. Treatment options may include radiation therapy or medication to manage symptoms and control the cancer. Early detection is important for better outcomes.
