Ophthalmo-oncology

Ophthalmic oncologists are involved in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant neoplasms of the eyes and their appendages. Specialists are responsible for the prevention and management of patients at all stages of the tumor process of the organs of vision and adjacent structures. One of the main areas is screening and early diagnosis of eye cancer in patients.

In a typical case, a patient comes for a consultation with an ophthalmologist with an already diagnosed cancer, which is progressing in the absence of correct treatment. Of course, there are no generally accepted screening methods for detecting eye cancer in the early stages. Unfortunately, detection of tumor lesions in such cases is carried out through special ophthalmological diagnostics.

Most often, patients turn to oncologists with the following symptoms: * Increased eye fatigue; * Abnormal heaviness in the eyes; * Fast fatiguability; * Constant double vision. If you have any of the above symptoms, it is best to seek advice from an ophthalmologist
