Ocular tumors can cause blindness if not treated. It is typically painless and may show no symptoms in its early stages. You may not even experience changes in the quality of your vision until the tumor begins to grow.

Having annual eye examinations is very important in detecting and avoiding the development of serious tumors, particularly if you have previously been diagnosed with other types of cancer or if you have freckles in your eyes.

Treatment for ocular tumors includes:

• Radiation therapy
• Transpupillary thermotherapy
• Annual eye checks
