I’m very grateful from start to finish communication and for the care I received during my operation. The medical team was professional, kind, and reassuring throughout the entire process. Everything was clearly explained, and my recovery has been going well. Thank you for the excellent care.

I had an exceptional experience with Turkey-Health for my eye surgery in Turkey. They offer very competitive prices, and I would especially like to thank Nassim. His professionalism and availability were remarkable, and he brilliantly corrected the mistakes of his predecessor. I highly recommend their services!

I would like to thank all the staff at this hospital for their excellent welcome and impeccable care. A special thank you to Emily, who demonstrated great efficiency, genuine understanding, and immense availability. She listened attentively and supported us from beginning to end; she is a truly lovely woman. Don't hesitate to trust them; you will be in good hands!

Go there with your eyes closed, stop listening to what they tell you in France. The service is so impeccable, not a single misstep, from the airport pick-up upon arrival in Turkey to the return to the airport after the operation. The medical staff is very kind, the surgeon is extremely competent, a brand new 4-star hotel with a Turkish breakfast. A 24-hour translator, a rate two and a half times cheaper than in France... I'll stop there, no need to go any further.

I went there for the medical checkup and I would say everyone there was very nice, but even with a translator there is still a bit of an English barrier. I feel like I had a lot of questions that I wanted to ask the doctor but a little overwhelmed to ask with everything. ANOTHER THING IS IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS IN ENGLISH, it has been 2 weeks and counting.

What is eye cancer?

Eye cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the eye, potentially affecting vision and eye structures. While rare, it is a serious condition that requires prompt medical attention.

Types of eye cancer can vary by age:

Children: Retinoblastoma is the most common type, often detected early with careful screening.
Adults: Uveal melanoma is the most frequent type, and early intervention is essential for preserving eyesight.

Regardless of the type of eye cancer, early diagnosis and specialized treatment are essential to preventing complications and improving outcomes.

At Turquie Santé, our partner clinics in Turkey provide expert ophthalmologists who will guide you from your first consultation through advanced treatment options.

Don't wait! An early evaluation can make a critical difference in saving your vision.

Types of malignant ocular tumors in adults

Eye tumors can develop in different parts of the eye and surrounding structures. Understanding the type of tumor is essential for choosing the right treatment.

Type of eye tumor	Location	Key characteristics	Treatment options	Why early treatment matters
Eyelid tumors	Eyelids	Usually benign; rarely aggressive.	Surgery; radiation or targeted therapy if needed.	Early diagnosis = excellent outcomes, minimal risk of spread.
Conjunctival tumors	Conjunctiva	Affects the transparent membrane over the white of the eye.	Surgery ± radiation; immunotherapy or targeted therapy in Turkey.	Prevents tumor growth and preserves vision.
Orbital tumors	Eye socket	Rare; may involve bones and surrounding tissues.	Biopsy to confirm diagnosis; specialized therapy.	Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment.
Intraocular tumors	Inside the eye	Includes retinoblastoma, uveal melanoma, ocular lymphoma, or metastases.	Surgery, proton therapy, targeted therapy; multidisciplinary approach.	Preserves eyesight and prevents spread to other organs.

Causes & risk factors of ocular tumors

Eye cancer can develop due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Understanding these risk factors helps patients take preventive measures and seek timely evaluation.

Some of the most important include:

Age: Intraocular melanoma mainly affects people between the ages of 50 and 70, with a peak incidence around age 55. It is rare in children and the very elderly.
Eye color: Individuals with light-colored eyes (blue, green, gray) are 2 to 3 times more likely to develop uveal melanoma than those with brown eyes.
Medical history: Conditions such as ocular melanosis or dysplastic nevus syndrome may be risk factors.
Immunodeficiency: Conditions like HIV/AIDS can raise the risk of some eye cancers.
Genetics: Certain genetic mutations, particularly in the BAP1 gene, are associated with an increased risk of uveal melanoma.
Occupational factors: Professions with high UV exposure, such as welding, may increase susceptibility.
Prolonged UV exposure: Ultraviolet rays from the sun or tanning devices damage the eye and increase the risk of melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma.

If you have any of these risk factors or notice unusual changes in your eyes, consult our expert ophthalmologists in Turkey to discuss personalized prevention and screening options.

Symptoms of eye cancer

In its early stages, eye cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms. However, as the tumor grows, changes in the eye or vision may occur. Recognizing these warning signs is key to early diagnosis and effective treatment.

Common symptoms include:

Iris changes: appearance of a dark spot, deformation of the iris.
Visual disturbances: blurred vision, partial or complete loss of vision, perception of floating objects (flying flies),flashes of light or shadows.
Pupil abnormalities: changes in pupil size or shape.
Eye changes: protrusion of the eye (exophthalmos),persistent redness, presence of a visible mass.

In children, retinoblastoma may manifest as leukocoria (white or silvery reflex in the pupil) and strabismus (squinting of the eye).

If you notice any unusual changes in your eyes or vision, consult our experienced ophthalmologists in Turkey to receive a thorough evaluation and personalized care.

Diagnosis of eye cancer

Accurate diagnosis is the first step in effective eye cancer treatment. Early detection allows ophthalmologists to tailor therapies that preserve vision and improve outcomes.

Diagnosis usually involves:

Comprehensive eye examination: Assessment of the pupil, retina, and surrounding structures.
Ocular imaging: Ultrasound, optical coherence tomography (OCT),or MRI to visualize internal eye structures.
Biopsy (in adults): A small tissue sample may be taken to confirm the type of tumor and assess the risk of spread.

In children, biopsy is generally avoided due to the risk of tumor spread. Other imaging tests may be preferred to confirm the diagnosis and monitor disease progression.

Specialized ophthalmic oncologists in Turkey combine advanced imaging and clinical expertise to provide a precise diagnosis. This ensures the most effective, personalized treatment plan.

Eye cancer treatment in Turkey

Treating eye cancer requires specialized care from ophthalmic oncologists to preserve vision and prevent tumor spread. In Turkey, our partner clinics offer advanced treatments tailored to each patient's needs.

Advanced treatment options include:

Proton therapy: A precision form of radiation that targets cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. Ideal for tumors inside the eye.
Surgery: Conventional and laser surgery can remove small tumors with high accuracy.
Multidisciplinary approaches: Complex cases may combine surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy for optimal outcomes.

Take the first step toward expert eye cancer care! Consult our Turkish specialists to discuss your treatment options and regain peace of mind.

Life-threatening prognosis: is eye tumors fatal?

The outlook for eye cancer depends on the type of tumor, its size, and how early it is detected.

Children (Retinoblastoma): Thanks to modern treatments, the prognosis is excellent, and many cases are fully curable.
Adults (Uveal melanoma and other ocular tumors): Early diagnosis and treatment significantly improve outcomes. However, if left untreated or if the cancer spreads, it can be life-threatening. Studies show that approximately 30% of adult eye cancer cases may become fatal if not properly managed.

Early evaluation and specialized care in Turkey can make a critical difference.

Eye cancer treatment FAQ in Turkey

How long does it take to recover after treatment for eye cancer?

Recovery after treatment for eye cancer depends on the type of treatment: it can range from a few weeks for radiation therapy or conservative surgery to several months after more invasive surgery such as enucleation.

What are the side effects of radiation therapy targeting the eye?

Side effects of radiation therapy targeting the eye include fatigue, irritation, dry eyes, temporary blurred vision, and, more rarely, cataracts or retinal damage.

Is eye cancer completely curable?

Eye cancer can often be controlled or cured, especially if detected early, but complete recovery depends on the type of tumor, its size, location, and how quickly treatment is started.

Can eye cancer be hereditary?

Yes, some eye cancers, such as retinoblastoma, can be hereditary, but most eye cancers in adults, such as melanoma, are not.
