Symptoms of eye cancer

Eye cancer doesn't always cause obvious symptoms and may only be picked up during a routine eye test.

Symptoms of eye cancer can include:

• shadows, flashes of light, or wiggly lines in your vision
• blurred vision
• a dark patch in your eye that's getting bigger
• partial or total Visual impairment
• bulging of one eye
• a lump on your eyelid or inyour eye that's increasing in size
• pain in or around your eye, although this is rare

These symptoms can also be caused by more minor eye conditions, so they're not necessarily a sign of cancer. However, it's important to get the symptomschecked by a doctor as soon as possible.
