1. Clinical assessment
A detailed history should focus on changes in vision and visual field. Comprehensive ophthalmic examination should assess intraocular pressure, globe position, and ocular motility.
2. Fundus examination
Ophthalmoscopy is a basic screening method used to examine the fundus and identify tumors in the retina or choroid.
3. Ultrasonography
A- and B-scan ultrasonography can show tumor size, shape, internal reflectivity, and depth, helping determine lesion characteristics and guide treatment.
4. Optical coherence tomography
High-resolution OCT clearly demonstrates the retinal layers, enables early detection of small lesions, and provides precise information about the tumor site.
5. Fluorescein angiography
After intravenous fluorescein injection, this test evaluates retinal and tumor vasculature, helps differentiate lesion nature, and assesses activity and treatment response.
6. Imaging examinations
CT and MRI clearly depict the globe and orbital structures, evaluate tumor extent and invasion, and support accurate staging and treatment planning.
7. Pathological biopsy
Histopathologic examination of surgically obtained tissue is the gold standard for definitive diagnosis, tumor typing, grading, and individualized treatment guidance.
8. Visual electrophysiologic testing
These tests evaluate retinal and visual pathway function, helping assess the impact of the tumor on vision and providing prognostic information.
9. Daily self-monitoring for eye cancer
Check vision monthly, pay attention to blurred or distorted vision, observe pupillary reflex changes, and feel around the eye for masses. Seek medical evaluation promptly if abnormalities are noticed.
Jinshazhou Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine emphasizes that eye cancer poses a serious threat to both vision and life. Early symptoms are often subtle and easily overlooked, and many patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, which affects treatment outcomes. High-risk individuals should remain vigilant and undergo regular ophthalmic screening. If symptoms such as visual abnormalities or leukocoria occur, prompt medical evaluation is essential. Early diagnosis and standardized treatment are key to improving prognosis, and multidisciplinary collaboration can improve diagnostic accuracy while maximizing preservation of visual function.
