Intraocular Tumors

Intraocular tumors are abnormal growths that develop inside the eye. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and can originate from various cells within the eye, such as those in the retina or uvea. Symptoms may include blurry vision, flashes of light, or seeing spots. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment, which may involve surgery, radiation, or other therapies. Specialists in ophthalmic oncology focus on diagnosing and treating these tumors to preserve vision and overall eye health. Regular eye exams can help identify issues early on.
