  Ocular melanoma, a type of cancer that originates in the pigment-producing cells of the eye or surrounding area, is a relatively uncommon condition. The two subtypes of ocular melanoma are the uveal and conjunctival forms, which display notable differences. The presentation of ocular melanoma can vary depending on its location and may manifest as symptoms such as blurred vision, reduced visual field, flashing lights, redness, discomfort, pain, or a sensation of pressure. Several risk factors for the development of ocular melanoma have been identified, including fair skin, atypical skin moles, light eye color, iris moles, freckles, and exposure to sun or tanning, as well as a genetic correlation at the CLPTM1L locus between uveal and cutaneous melanoma. The primary mechanisms underlying the development of ocular melanoma may involve oxidative damage to pigmented tissues and genetic alterations resulting from adenine-to-cytosine mutations in uveal melanoma or adenine-to-thymine m...
