Eye cancers are discovered either incidentally at the time of a routine eye exam when they are asymptomatic, or at the time of evaluation of visual problems since they can be associated with decreased vision due to eye complications. It is crucial to have your eyes examined by a specialist experienced in the field of eye cancers if you were told to have an unusual growth or lesion inside your eye. Many times these lesions can be benign lesions that only need monitoring over time. However, differentiation between a benign lesion and a malignant eye cancer can be difficult and requires special examination and imaging techniques by an experienced eye cancer specialist.
