In the eye there are three main parts:
 * 1) The globe
 * 2) The orbit
 * 3) The adnexal structures

The globe is the main part of the eyeball. It is split into three layers: Likewise, the Uvea is split into three parts as well: Cancers that affect the globe are called intraocular cancers.
 * 1) The sclera
 * 2) The Uvea
 * 3) The retina
 * 1) The iris
 * 2) The choroid
 * 3) The ciliary body

The orbit contains the tissues that surround the eyeball such as the muscles that make the globe move and the nerves attached to the eye. Cancers that affect this part of the eye are called orbital cancers.

The adnexal structures contain the eyelids and the tear glands Cancers that develop in the adnexal are called adnexal cancers

In 2009 there were only 230 deaths from cancer of the eye and most of the cancer patients for cancer of the eye are over the age of 50. There are various treatments for eye cancer that range from surgery to chemo therapy.
