Although rare, ocular melanoma is the most common eye cancer to strike adults.

The disease spans the age and ethnic spectrum, and is not hereditary.

The Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA has been rated by U.S. News & World Report as No. 1 in the western United States, and offers the strongest combination of research and clinical programs in the nation. Patients with ocular melanoma travel from as far as the Philippines and Saudi Arabia for treatment by UCLA’s specialists, who address the full spectrum of the disease’s psychological, visual and oncologic effects.
