Ocular Oncology Surgery

Ocular oncology surgery is a specialized field within ophthalmic surgery that focuses on diagnosing and treating eye cancers and tumors. It involves surgical procedures to remove malignant growths from the eye or surrounding tissues while preserving as much vision and eye function as possible. These surgeries may also include biopsies to determine the nature of the tumor. Specialists in ocular oncology work closely with a team of healthcare providers to develop comprehensive treatment plans, which may also involve radiation therapy or chemotherapy, depending on the type and stage of the cancer.
