Primary Eye Cancer

Primary eye cancer refers to tumors that start in the eye rather than spreading there from other parts of the body. The most common form is melanoma, which affects the eye's pigment cells. Other types include retinoblastoma, often found in children, and various forms of lymphoma. Symptoms may include blurred vision, flashes of light, or visible changes in the eye. Diagnosis typically involves eye exams and imaging. Treatment options range from observation to surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, depending on the type and stage of cancer. Early detection is crucial for the best outcomes.
