Ocular Oncology

What is Ocular Oncology?

Ocular Oncology deals with eye tumors, both benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous). These conditions may affect different parts of the eye such as the retina, choroid, conjunctiva, eyelid, or orbit.
At Patil Center for Advanced Eye Care, we specialize in Ocular Oncology, a branch of ophthalmology dedicated to diagnosing and treating cancers and tumors that affect the eye, eyelids, and surrounding structures. Our expert team ensures early detection, advanced treatment, and compassionate care to protect both vision and life.

  • Blurred or reduced vision

  • Flashes of light or floaters

  • A visible dark spot on the eye

  • Bulging of the eye

  • Redness or irritation not improving with routine care

  • Sudden loss of vision

  • Comprehensive Eye Examination

  • Ultrasound & Fundus Imaging

  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

Treatment Options

Based on the type and stage of the tumor, our treatment options include:
