Ocular Diseases

Ocular oncology is a highly specialised field of ophthalmology, ocular oncologists collaborate internationally. Ocular oncology is a multidisciplinary service that includes general oncologists, paediatric oncologists, specialist nurses, clinical scientists, and a variety of other specialists. Uveal and conjunctivitis melanoma, uveal metastasis, intraocular and conjunctival lymphoma, and conjunctiva carcinoma are the most common malignancies. Ocular oncologists are frequently referred patients with suspected malignant tumours, in addition to managing confirmed malignant tumours. Biomicroscopy, ultrasonography, angiography, optical coherence tomography, autofluorescence imaging, and biopsy are all used to make a diagnosis. Naevi and chorodal haemangioma are the most common benign tumours. Vasoproliferative tumours and retinal haemangioblastomas are two types of vascular tumours.
