Some minor changes in the eyes should never be ignored, as hidden signs of cancer may be, with experts warning of the high cases between younger patients.

The experts urged the public to be careful of 7 main signs of eye cancer, which are often ignored or confused with non -harmful cases, according to a report in the Daily Mail.

Among the changes that the eye specialists have shed light is the lack of clarity of vision and irritation of the eye that does not respond to standard treatments, which many people attribute to staring at the screens for a very long time.

According to the UK Cancer Research Center, cases of eye cancer in the UK have been a steady rise, with an increase in infection rates by about a third since the early 1990s.

While it is often seen in people over 50 years old, the numbers of younger patients who are diagnosed are increasing and many cases are ignored until cancer is progressing.

The most common type is in -kind melanin tumor, which is a leather cancer consisting in the middle of the eyeball, exposure to UV rays, from the sun, is a potential catalyst.

Other symptoms include sudden changes in sight, loss of peripheral vision and vision of “flashes” or “dark forms”.

Dark spots

Dark spots that appear on the iris – the colored part of the eyeball – are another warning sign, as well as blocks and swelling around the eye.

Dr. Neil Lerid, an ophthalmologist, said that redness or irritation in the eye must also be investigated despite standard treatment.

Experts urged the public to be careful of 7 main signs of eye cancer that are often ignored or confused with non -harmful cases.

“Many people tend to ignore the changes in their eyesight or the appearance of their eyes, assuming that they are just a result of aging or stress or just using their devices for a very long time … to identify these accurate signs early is very important.”

“Many of these symptoms can resemble harmless cases, and for this reason they can be ignored easily,” he added.

The seven hidden signs of eye cancer

The symptoms that must be paid to the following include:

  • Lack of vision or sudden change in sight.
  • Dark spots on the iris, whether they are tumors or amplifiers on the colored part of the eye.
  • Light flashes or shadow shapes.
  • Conclinations or swelling around the eye.
  • Redness or irritation.
  • Peripheral vision loss, that is, the gradual narrowing of the field of vision in the beholder.

Lyer wants that people who have a first -degree relative have been diagnosed with skin cancer have a 30 to 50% risk of eye cancer.

“Protecting your eyes from UV rays is too important, as exposure to UV rays can lead to uncommon forms of eye cancer, such as melanoma in conjunctiva,” said Lerid.

“To reduce this risk, we wear high -quality sunglasses that block UV rays or add a layer of UV protection to your daily glasses,” he added.

Early discovery

Early discovery greatly improves treatment results, as about 95% of people who have been diagnosed with eye cancer are diagnosed for a year or more.

Other types of eye cancer include basal cell cancer and healing cell cancer, which are also two types of skin cancer that can affect the eyelids.

Democratic cancer is a rare type that begins with the glands that produce liquids that cleans and protects the surface of the eyelid.
