Nevus in the Eye - Could It Mean Cancer? | Tara McCannel, MD, PhD | UCLAMDChat

[@DanaTellier]

I was just told I had a freckle. I went to a specialist and now the specialist wants me to go to an Ocular Oncologist. 😕

[@Mary-kl2kj]

I lost my left eye to ocular melanoma and have a nevus in my right eye so I do go in for eye check ups regularly.

[@dancer1]

Omg I’m so sorry how did they find the melanoma and the nevus?

[@robertsimon6674]

Thanks for your brilliant presentation !!! growing freckle detected in the back of the eye of our 13 years old daughter .. we are so worried !

[@skimasktheflowgod7208]

how is she now?

[@dianaalzhrawi7]

Iam 14 and i am getting my eye freckle removed soon hope she is fine

[@Philyra86]

I've been dealing with problems in my left eye for over two years now (blurry vision, floaters, pain, black dot in the middle of my eye that stays in the same place, sometimes don't see objects coming from the side, bump in to objects, 2 bumps/thickening of the optic nerve) and just yesterday they discovered a 'freckle' on the inside of the lining of my eye. It wasn't there almost 2 years ago. They will be testing the wideness of my vision on the 25th. I live in the netherlands by the way. But thank you for showing the differences to look out for on the photo's.

I’m so impressed by talented people who get multiple difficult degrees

Ummm...my eye doctor just told me I have a “freckle” on my iris. He said we’ll need to keep checking it

I have a large nevus on the back of my eye that is flat, and get it measured every 6 months. However, I am terrified that it could change someday...

[@rachidchaabi1451]

how many years you have it?

[@ericatilley382]

@@rachidchaabi1451 I've had it since I got eye exams as a child, so I may have been born with it - I'm 30 now.

[@ericatilley382]

@@orangeblossom3665 It sucks not being able to see it without getting an exam! Ah well, nice to know we aren't alone 😊

[@rachidchaabi1451]

@@ericatilley382 thank you for your answer. I would like to know if your nevus has not grown up. How do you know that it is congenital?

[@rachidchaabi1451]

for me I just found a benign choroidal nevus flat very small and this after a routine visit. I am very worried

[@mosquitobite1249]

Why when I blinking there are like wavy black color when I open my eyes

[@JF59122]

Is a nevus on the sclera dangerous? I have myopia as well! God I'm freaked out!

[@otavianiluciano7397]

I have a nevus in my left eye and it is benign. Is there any problem if I make an operation to eliminate the nevus right now and not wait for it to become a melanoma?

[@anj8119]

Otaviani Luciano i want it to be removed too, i get bullied a lot

[@gatogato2866]

was it taken away?

[@SVP884]

Plz answer it's urgent, my son got nerve which is thicker than the other nerves, and nerve around look more like supporting the swollen nerve. He has no pain, tingling or itching, eye looks clear I just happened to check his his by pulling the skin under the eye and made him look up to reveal this.
