Eye Cancer? Eye Freckle Vs Melanoma of the Eye

Ever been told you had an Eye Freckle? This freckle or “choroidal nevus” is concerning as it could become an ocular melanoma, a potentially deadly form of eye cancer. Learn what testing can be done, the diagnosis and what treatments are available. There are many different pigmented spots that can appear in the eyeball and one of these spots appears as a freckle or mole behind the retina. This retinal nevus or “choroidal nevus” is basically a mole behind the retina of the eye and could potentially become a melanoma. Melanoma of the eye is a type of eye cancer that can seriously threaten a person's eyesight as well as their life. These choroidal nevi are typically found in about 7-10% of the population but thankfully most people never develop a choroidal melanoma. However, due to the severity of the diagnosis, eye doctors take the evaluation of choroidal nevi very seriously. 📙 To learn more about clinical science regarding this diagnosis: please see these references https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30608... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35200...
