01Understand this condition
Eye cancer includes different diseases by age and location. Retinoblastoma mainly affects children; uveal melanoma is one adult intraocular malignancy.
02How it is assessed
Ophthalmic specialists use focused examination and appropriate imaging. Biopsy approaches differ between eye tumours and require specialist planning.
03Care pathways
Local therapy, radiation, surgery, or medicines depend on type, size, spread, and visual preservation. Children require age-appropriate teams.
04Important distinctions & limits
Eye cancer is not synonymous with retinoblastoma. A white pupil reflex in a child or visual change requires prompt examination.

Understand the disease type first. An organ name is not enough. Pathology, stage, and general condition give context.
Each specialty has a role. Medical, radiation, and surgical oncology may work together according to the case.
An MDT brings perspectives together. A multidisciplinary team discusses findings and options. Team composition depends on the case.
Bring clear questions. BKC supports coordination. Diagnosis and medical decisions remain with licensed clinicians.
Prepared by BKC editorial, 22 October 2026. General education, not a diagnosis or personal treatment selection. A topic listing does not establish availability at a particular hospital.
