Eye Tumors

What are eye tumors?

Eye tumors are abnormal growths or lesions that can develop in different structures of the eye and surrounding tissues. They may be benign or malignant and can affect the eyelids, conjunctiva, iris, retina, choroid, or orbit.

What are the types of eye tumors?

There are different types of tumors depending on where they develop. Some may appear on the surface of the eye or eyelids, while others affect internal structures such as the iris, retina, choroid, or orbit. Diagnosis helps determine the nature of the lesion and the appropriate treatment.

How are eye tumors diagnosed and treated?

Evaluation may include an eye examination, photography, ocular ultrasound, CT scans, MRI, or other tests. A biopsy may be necessary in some cases. Treatment depends on the type, size, and location of the tumor and may include observation, surgery, laser treatment, cryotherapy, radiation therapy, or medication.
