Ocular Surface Tumors

Ocular surface tumors are abnormal growths that occur on the surface of the eye, particularly on the cornea or the conjunctiva, which is the thin membrane covering the eye. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and may arise from various factors, including sun exposure or viral infections. Symptoms can include changes in vision, redness, or discomfort. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment. Depending on the tumor type, options may include monitoring, surgery, or other therapies. Regular eye exams can help identify these issues early on.
