Primary Intraocular Lymphoma

Primary Intraocular Lymphoma (PIOL) is a rare type of cancer that occurs in the eyes, primarily affecting the retina and surrounding tissues. It is a form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which means it arises from lymphatic cells. Often associated with other conditions like central nervous system lymphoma, PIOL can cause vision problems, floaters, and inflammation. Diagnosis typically involves eye examinations, imaging, and sometimes biopsy. Treatment may include chemotherapy or radiation therapy, aiming to control the cancer and preserve vision. Early detection is crucial for better outcomes.
