Eye cancer, though rare, can affect any part of the eye, including the eyelids, retina, and orbit. It encompasses various types, such as melanoma, lymphoma, and retinoblastoma. Symptoms may include vision changes, eye pain, bulging eyes, or unusual spots on the iris. Diagnosis involves a thorough eye examination, imaging tests, and sometimes a biopsy. Treatment options depend on the type and stage of cancer, ranging from surgery and radiation to chemotherapy or targeted therapy. Early detection and prompt intervention are crucial for better prognosis and preserving vision. Regular eye exams and sun protection can help reduce the risk of eye cancer.
