  Eye cancer is rare. According to the Cleveland Clinic, about 3,400 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with eye cancer each year. There are often no early warning signs. Eye cancer is most treatable when discovered in its early stages, which is why an annual comprehensive eye exam is so important. […] While the exact cause of most eye cancers is unknown, there are actions that you can take to potentially lower your risk: […] Wear wrap-around 100% UVA/UVB-protective sunglasses every day rain or shine to protect your eyes and the sensitive skin around them. Consider dark or tinted lenses for optimal protection, especially if you have light-colored eyes. […] Wear a wide-brimmed hat. […] Limit your exposure to intense sunlight. […] Schedule an annual comprehensive eye exam.

  Understanding the risk factors for eye cancer can provide insight into ocular melanoma prevention strategies. […] While little is known about what exactly causes eye cancer, including ocular melanoma, researchers are learning more about the disease all the time and hope one day to establish ocular melanoma prevention guidelines. […] Because experts dont know exactly what causes primary ocular melanoma, we cant make specific suggestions on how to prevent it. Still, it is always a good idea to take steps to lower your overall risk of cancer through lifestyle modification, especially considering most eye cancers actually originate in other parts of the body. The following guidelines may be important for secondary ocular melanoma prevention: Not using any tobacco products, Not drinking alcohol, Maintaining a body mass index below 25, Being physically active every day, Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in processed meats.

  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. […] Beyond reducing your risk of more common eye diseases including cataracts, macular degeneration and growths on the eye, many ophthalmologists would agree there is enough data to support the fact that you are reducing your overall eye cancer risk, too.

  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.
