Ocular oncologists at UT Southwestern Medical Center treat eye tumors and tumors of the tissues surrounding the eye using the most advanced diagnostic and treatment methods available.
The diagnostic resources available at UT Southwestern are among the most advanced in the nation. Tests may include ultrasound, eye “photographs” such as fluorescein angiography, fundus photography, CT scans, PET scans, and MRIs, as well as pupillary and ocular motion evaluations. Early detection of eye tumors and ocular cancer can enhance the outcome of treatments.
