Ocular melanoma is a rare type of cancer that occurs in the eye, specifically in the uveal tract, which includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. It arises from melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing pigment. This condition can lead to vision problems and may spread to other parts of the body if not treated promptly. Symptoms of ocular melanoma can include blurred vision, dark spots on the eye, or changes in the shape of the pupil. Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive eye examination and imaging tests. Treatment options may include radiation therapy, surgery, or laser therapy, depending on the size and location of the tumor.
