Eye lymphoma is a type of cancer that can develop in the middle of the eye and in the back of the eye. People who have certain problems with their immune systems are at risk for getting eye lymphoma.
Symptoms of eye lymphoma include blurry vision, loss of vision, and light sensitivity. To help diagnose an eye lymphoma, an ophthalmologist looks inside the eye with an ophthalmoscope. He or she may also take special photographs inside your eye and take a sample of tissue inside your eye to look at in the lab.
If eye lymphoma is found, it is treated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or both.
If you have any questions about eye lymphoma, be sure to ask. Your ophthalmologist is committed to protecting your sight.
