Overview
A positive history of pre-existing iris nevus which increased in size, eye pain, visual loss, blurred vision, floaters, age between 50_70 years old, male gender, white race, pregnancy, impaired immune system, light colored-irides, sunlight exposure, trauma, and fluorescent lighting exposure is suggestive of uveal melanoma. The most common symptoms of uveal melanoma include ,eye pain, blurred vision, eye redness, loss of peripheral vision, poor or blurry vision in one eye, a dark spot on the iris, seeing flashing lights, and floaters.
