Malignant Eye Melanoma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Malignant melanoma of the eye, or ocular melanoma, is a tumor that originates in the cells that produce pigment within the eye, most often in the layer called the uvea. It is a type of cancer that requires specialized care.
Signs that may appear: changes in vision, flashes or spots in the visual field, a visible pigmented spot or, in many cases, no obvious symptom at first.
Why evaluations matter: because it can run its course without discomfort for a time, periodic ophthalmologic exams help detect it early.
Which specialist evaluates it? Malignant melanoma of the eye is studied in ophthalmology, the specialty that examines the internal structures of the eye. If you notice visual changes or a spot in the eye, scheduling an ophthalmologic evaluation is the best way to clarify the finding in time.
