Most adult intraocular tumours are managed with globe preservation using a combination of lasers, cryotherapy or radiation therapy. Disease spread from elsewhere (metastasis) may require systemic management by oncologists and radiation treatment (brachytherapy or external beam radiation). Intractable tumours may require globe removal with rehabilitation. 

Our ocular oncology team is comprised of consultants trained in retinal and oculoplastic diseases and surgery.

​Ocular surface tumours refer to a wide spectrum of tumours arising from cornea and conjunctiva. Although relatively rare, these tumours have significant morbidity and even mortality if not treated in time. A high index of suspicion is the key to diagnosis with outcomes improved with early and aggressive management.

​Our certified and experienced Ocular Prosthetician provides the following services: conformers, customised ocular prosthesis, scleral shells and symblepharon rings when indicated.
