Ocular Lymphoma

Ocular lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the eye or the surrounding tissues. It occurs when abnormal lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, grow uncontrollably in the eye, leading to symptoms such as blurred vision, eye pain, or swelling. There are two main forms: primary ocular lymphoma, which starts in the eye, and secondary, which spreads from other parts of the body. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests and biopsies. Treatment options may include radiation, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy, depending on the severity and extent of the disease. Early detection is important for effective management.
