  Eye cancer does not always cause obvious symptoms and may only be picked up during a routine eye test. […] Symptoms of eye cancer can include: shadows, flashes of light, or wiggly lines in your vision; blurred vision; a dark patch in your eye that’s getting bigger; partial or total loss of vision; bulging of 1 eye; a lump on your eyelid or in your eye that’s increasing in size; eye irritation that is not going away; pain in or around your eye, although this is rare. […] But it’s important to get the symptoms checked by a doctor as soon as possible. […] The risk of developing eye melanoma also increases with age, with most cases being diagnosed in people in their 50s. […] The outlook for melanoma of the eye depends on many factors. […] Eye cancer is rare, so survival rates are based on all eye cancers. For people with eye cancer in England: 95 out of every 100 (95%) will live at least 1 year after diagnosis; 70 out of every 100 (70%) will live at least 5 years after diagnosis; 60 out of every 100 (60%) will live at least 10 years after diagnosis.

  The risk for eye cancer increases with age, climbing after the age of 50. Eye cancer occurs more in people with light hair and/or light eyes. […] Some studies suggest that welders have a slightly increased risk of uveal melanoma. […] An eye doctor will perform a complete eye exam using equipment such as a silt lamp, which emits a narrow, intense beam of light, and an indirect ophthalmoscope, which provides a wide view of the inside of the eye. […] Tumors on the surface of the eye can be managed by topical chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation, or surgical excision. […] The typical treatment for cancers inside the eye is radiation in the form of brachytherapy. […] Though the odds that treatment will be successful depends on the type of eye cancer and its stage of development. There is a 95 to 98% success rate in achieving local control of uveal melanoma when using brachytherapy, says Dr. Lim. […] Eye cancer is difficult to prevent, as researchers are still trying to understand how it develops.

  Eye cancer is rare. In fact, there are only about 3,500 new cases a year, a fraction of the estimated 1.7 million-plus cases of cancer that are diagnosed in the U.S. each year. There are often no early symptoms or warning signs, especially if the cancer is small and not located close to the vital structures of the eye. […] Eye cancer is most treatable when it is discovered early, says Renelle Lim, MD, a Yale Medicine ophthalmologist and specialist in ocular oncology and plastic surgery. For that reason, we always advise everyone to have a dilated eye exam once a year with an eye doctor, she says. […] Eye lymphoma usually affects both eyes at the same time. There may be blurred vision, pain, floaters, and sensitivity to light, among other signs. […] There may be other signs, such as vision problems, or lazy eye (strabismus), in which the eyes appear to be looking in different directions.

• #21 Stages of eye cancer | Canadian Cancer Society

  https://cancer.ca/en/cancer-information/cancer-types/eye/staging

  Staging describes or classifies a cancer based on how much cancer there is in the body and where it is when first diagnosed. This is often called the extent of cancer. Information from tests is used to find out the size of the tumour, which parts of the organ have cancer, whether the cancer has spread from where it first started and where the cancer has spread. Your healthcare team uses the stage to plan treatment and estimate the outcome (your prognosis). […] The most common staging system for eye cancer is the TNM system. For eye cancer there are 4 stages. Often the stages 1 to 4 are written as the Roman numerals I, II, III and IV. Generally, the higher the stage number, the larger the cancer is or the more the cancer has spread. Talk to your doctor if you have questions about staging.

• #22 If You Have Eye Cancer | American Cancer Society

  The stage is based on how far the cancer has grown or spread through the eye. It also tells if the cancer has spread to other parts of your body. […] Eye melanoma can be stage 1, 2, 3, or 4. The lower the number, the less the cancer has spread. A higher number, like stage 4, means the cancer is more serious and has spread outside the eye. […] Sometimes doctors use a different way to stage eye melanoma. Instead of numbers, the cancer is called small, medium, or large depending on the size of the tumor. […] If signs and symptoms are pointing to eye cancer, tests will be done. […] Radiation therapy is the main treatment for most people, but other treatments might be needed, too.
