| Ocular
Oncology Service
Overview Eye
tumors are relatively rare, and need sophisticated and specialized diagnostic
and treatment facilities. The Ocular Oncology Service at the LV Prasad Eye Institute
is one of the few departments in the World that deal exclusively with eye tumors
and provide integrated comprehensive management for the entire range of tumors
of the eye and adnexa. The Ocular
Oncology Service at the LV Prasad Eye Institute is an integrated multi-specialty
tertiary care referral center for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with
eye tumors and those who are eye tumor suspects. Because of the rarity of eye
tumors, patients generally have to travel long distances to seek expert opinion
and treatment. The Ocular Oncology Service caters to patients that come from all
parts of India and the region without need for a prior appointment and also provides
expedited management as the condition demands. The wide spectrum of eye tumors
managed here includes tumors of the eyelid and adnexa, ocular surface, intraocular
structures, and orbit. As one of the
first and the largest centers for the treatment of eye tumors, the Ocular Oncology
Service has an unparalleled opportunity to carry out clinical research projects
in conjunction with the Basic Sciences Research Departments. Physicians on the
service combine efforts with scientists in the laboratory to achieve a better
understanding of the eye tumor, its diagnosis and treatment. The staff of the
Ocular Oncology Service is formed by a cohesive team of physicians and scientists
who are well oriented to this relatively nascent subspecialty. Top
