Eye tumors are abnormal growths that develop in or around the eye. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and their effects range from mild to severe. Common types of eye tumors include retinoblastoma, which is often seen in children, and ocular melanoma, a rare but serious condition in adults. Symptoms like blurred vision, changes in eye appearance, persistent pain, or a noticeable lump should never be ignored. Early diagnosis through eye exams and imaging tests is crucial for effective treatment, which may involve surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. For expert advice and personalized care, consult Dr. Richa Shrivastava, a trusted specialist in eye health and tumor management.
