Retinal Tumor Evaluation and Treatment in Malleshwaram

Expert Care for Rare and Serious Retinal Conditions

Have you recently been told you have a retinal mass during an eye exam?
 Are you noticing blurred vision, eye floaters, or even unexplained bleeding in the eye?
 Have you had cancer in the past, or is there a family history of ocular tumors?

Many eye cancers, including retinal tumors, can remain hidden until they become advanced. At Sapiens Clinic, Malleshwaram, we specialize in diagnosing and managing such rare but serious eye conditions with precision and compassion.

What Are Retinal Tumors?

Retinal tumors are uncommon growths located in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. While some retinal tumors are benign, others—like retinoblastoma and choroidal melanoma—are malignant and require immediate attention.

• Retinoblastoma is most often seen in children and may affect one or both eyes.
• Choroidal melanoma, a malignant tumor arising from the vascular layer beneath the retina, can spread to other organs if not treated in time.
• Choroidal metastasis occurs when cancer from another part of the body (such as the breast or lungs) spreads to the eye.

Because these tumors often present no early symptoms, routine eye check-ups and prompt specialist evaluations are essential.x

How Are Retinal Tumors Treated?

Treatment depends on the type, size, and location of the tumor, as well as whether it has spread beyond the eye.

Common approaches include :

🔹 Radiation Therapy

Used to shrink or control tumors while attempting to preserve vision. It’s more effective when the tumor hasn’t invaded the center of the retina.

🔹 Systemic Chemotherapy

Especially useful for retinoblastoma or metastatic tumors. It may be combined with local therapies to maximize effect.

🔹 Enucleation (Eye Removal Surgery)

In severe cases where the tumor threatens life or causes significant vision loss, surgical removal of the eye is performed. This is a complex but life-saving surgery that helps prevent further spread of cancer.

After healing, an artificial eye prosthesis is placed to restore a natural appearance.

🔹 Observation Only

For certain benign retinal tumors, no active treatment may be needed. Instead, regular monitoring helps ensure the condition remains stable.

Recovery and Outlook

Recovery varies significantly based on the type of tumor and the treatment provided.

• For eye-sparing procedures, patients may retain partial or full vision if the tumor hasn’t affected the central retina.
• For enucleation cases, healing takes a few weeks. Once the socket has healed, a custom-made prosthetic eye is fitted, offering excellent cosmetic results.
• Supportive care, medications, and regular follow-ups are crucial for tracking healing and detecting any recurrence.

Our team at Sapiens Clinic provides individualized post-treatment guidance and emotional support throughout your recovery.
