Coping with eye cancer can be difficult. There is help and support available.
All treatments must be fully researched before they can be adopted as standard treatment for everyone.
Your treatment depends on several factors. These include what type of eye cancer you have, how big it is and whether it has spread (the stage). It also depends on your general health.
Eye cancer includes different types of cancer. The type of eye cancer you have depends on the type of cell it starts in. There are different parts of the eye, and some of these are more likely to get cancer than others.
