What Is Ocular Oncology?

Ocular oncology is the diagnosis and treatment of cancerous and non-cancerous tumors and abnormal growths in and around the eyes. These conditions can impact any structure of the eye including the retina, eyelids, tear ducts, iris, choroid, and others. Tumors and other growths can be the result of genetic mutations or other abnormalities in the eye that lead to the uncontrolled growth of cells.

The ophthalmologists at OCLI Vision are experienced and knowledgeable in the field of ocular oncology, providing a comprehensive suite of services to ensure patients have access to the most effective and advanced treatments on the market.

Who is at Risk for Ocular Cancer?

It can be difficult to determine the cause of a tumor, but there are certain risk factors that predispose people to developing ocular cancer, such as:

Genetics – Some ocular cancers and conditions are hereditary.
Environment – Exposure to UV radiation or injuries can increase the risk of developing ocular conditions.
Lifestyle – Smoking and excessive alcohol use are common risk factors for ocular conditions. Additionally, older individuals are at increased risk as the structures in the eye begin to break down and other conditions develop.

Great office, great doctor. Every employee was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Since you arrived you will be attended by great staff. They do a complete eye exam. They are very careful with the cleaning of every machine before you use it. You don’t have to wait too long in order to see the doctor who by the way is very clear to explain your condition. He is very professional and polite. I will highly recommend this place. Let me know if you have any questions or need anything else.
