What is Eye Cancer?

Any cancer that starts in or around the eye is called eye cancer. Cancer starts when cells mutate. Ocular oncologists specialize in treating eye cancer.

Eye Cancer Types

Different types of cancer start in different parts of the eye. Your eye has three main parts: the eyeball; the orbit, tissues surrounding the eye; and structures such as the eyelids and tear glands.

Here are some examples of eye cancers:

Eye Cancer Symptoms

  • Blurry vision or sudden loss of vision
  • Floaters in your eye (spots or squiggles that drift in your field of vision) or flashes of light
  • A growing dark spot on your iris, the colored part of the eye
  • Pupil changes in size or shape
  • Eyeball changes position within its socket
  • Bulging eyeballs

These symptoms may not be due to cancer. They could be from a different condition. A physician can evaluate these symptoms. Patients with eye cancer rarely feel pain, unless the tumor has grown outside the eyeball.

Eye Cancer Causes

There is no exact cause, but certain types of characteristics have been linked with eye cancer.

  • Race/ethnicity
  • Eye color
  • Age and gender
