  While there are some known risk factors for eye cancer (especially melanoma of the eye, or intraocular melanoma), most of these factors are not things that can be changed, so its not clear if there are ways to prevent or lower your risk of eye cancer. […] We know there is a link between sunlight and melanomas of the skin, and there are things you can do that might reduce your risk of these cancers, including limiting your exposure to intense sunlight, covering up with protective hats and clothing, and using sunscreen. […] The American Cancer Society also recommends wearing UV-protected sunglasses when outside in strong sunlight. Wrap-around sunglasses with 99% to 100% UVA and UVB absorption provide the best protection for the eyes and the surrounding skin. This might help reduce the risk of developing cancers of the skin around the eyes. […] The link between sunlight and eye melanomas is not proven, and if there is an increased risk it is likely to be small. Still, some doctors think that sunglasses might also help reduce eye melanoma risk.

  https://ocularmelanoma.org/screening-prevention

  It is believed that certain risk factors including eye (iris) color, skin color, ancestry, tanning ability and a family history of ocular melanoma can predispose an individual to OM and the American Academy of Ophthalmology states that these factors may increase your risk for developing melanoma. Thus, reducing, for instance, UV exposure would reduce your risks for developing melanoma in your eye. […] When it comes to UV exposure, one should always wear UV-protective sunglasses whenever outdoors. The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light can be very harmful to your eyes but good sunglasses should block 100% of the sun’s UV spectrum. […] Overall, healthy adults ages 18 to 40 without risk factors (for example, diabetes or a family history of eye problems) should see an eye doctor every two or three years. Healthy adults ages 41 to 60 should see an eye doctor about every two years. Adults ages 18 to 60 with risk factors should see an eye doctor every one to two years. The American Optometric Association recommends that people ages 61 and over visit an eye doctor annually regardless of other risk factors. […] The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that, if you have no risk factors, you get a baseline eye disease screening at age 40 when early signs of disease and changes in vision start to occur.
