What is Eye Melanoma?
  • Melanoma is a type of cancer that forms in the
    cells that produce melanin the pigment that
    gives your skin its color. Your eyes also have
    melanin-producing cells and could develop
    melanoma. Eye melanoma is otherwise known
    as ocular melanoma.
  • Most eye melanomas form in the part of the eye
    you cannot see when looking in a mirror. This
    makes eye melanoma hard to detect. In addition,
    eye melanoma generally does not cause early signs
    or symptoms.
  • Treatment is available for eye melanomas.
    Treatment for some small eye melanomas might not
    interfere with your vision. However, treatment
    for large eye melanomas generally causes some
    vision loss.

Cause Of Eye Melanoma
  • It is unclear what causes eye melanoma.
  • Doctors know that eye melanoma happens when
    errors develop in the DNA of healthy eye cells.
    The DNA errors tell the cells to grow and
    multiply out of control so that mutated cells go
    on living when they would normally die. The
    mutated cells build up in the eye and form an eye
    melanoma.
  • The iris, which is the colored part at the front
    of the eye
  • The choroid layer is the layer of blood vessels
    and connective tissue in between the sclera and
    the retina at the back of the uvea
  • The ciliary body, which is in the front of the
    uvea secretes the transparent liquid (aqueous
    humor) inside the eye.
  • Eye melanoma could also happen on the outermost
    layer on the front of the eye (conjunctiva), in
    the socket that encircles the eyeball, and on the
    eyelid, though these types of eye melanoma are
    very rare.

Symptoms Of Eye Melanoma
  • Eye melanoma might not cause signs and symptoms.
    When they do happen, signs and symptoms of eye
    melanoma could include
  • A feeling of flashes or specks of dust in your
    vision (floaters)
  • A growing dark spot on the iris
  • A change in the shape of the dark circle (pupil)
    in the center of your eye
  • Poor or blurry vision in one eye
  • Loss of peripheral vision
