What Are Eyelid & Orbital
Lesions or Cancers?
Many eyelid and conjunctival cancers go untreated because they appear so small. Even if you regularly wear sunglasses, your eyes receive a lot of sun exposure and can’t be covered by sunscreen, which is irritating to delicate eye tissue. If you see anything that looks unusual, don’t wait and hope it goes away. Have it examined immediately otherwise serious eye issues may arise.

Early Treatment Action
Eyelid & orbital lesions may not look like much, but the earlier we can identify and remove cancers on the surface of the eye, the better for the long run.

When these issues arise, you will need to undergo a complete eye exam and have imaging done to fully evaluate the tumor.
