eye cancer- all cancer is serious so is eye cancer but with an amazing 80% survival rate makes it seem not as bad as it really it. there are two types of eye cancer thats can be found in the eye. primary introculor cancer which is when the cancer starts in the eye. the other type of cancer is secondary introculor cancer which is when the cancer speards to the eye from other area's of the body. the most common type is intraculor melanoma which is a cancer found in the cells that produce the pigment melanin. it is located in the middle of the three layers of the eye. the outer layer (the white of the eye) white sclera, the clear layer also known as the cornea, and the inner layer has a linning of nerve tissue called the retina. treatment options include surgrey to remove small lesions, chemotherapy to kill cancer cells and halt the cancers progression, radation therapy, immunalogical therapy. often times when doctors find lesions on your eye and they are very small they will keep a close eye on it to see if its growing because most times its not and they often will leave it to save going through surgery. if left untreated it can lead to fatal injuries. you should see a eye specialist if you suspect you may have eye cancer because if it goes untreated you could lose vision or the worse case scenrio your life
