    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.

    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.

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

    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. 😕

    7:35 the reason they leave a melanoma is cost and laziness, if it spreads it will go straight to the liver and then it’s too late. Aggressive approach is best but that’s for the rich, the poor just take risks.

    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...

    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.
