Blind eyes can develop malignant melanoma, a potentially lethal tumor. Regular eye examinations are crucial for early detection, even in eyes with no vision, to save lives.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Malignant melanoma can occur in blind eyes.
  • Blind eyes are often neglected in routine physical examinations.

Observation:

  • Two cases of anterior extrascleral extension of malignant melanoma in previously blind eyes are presented.
  • Tumors were detected by patients or their families, not physicians.
  • One tumor appeared over 60 years after blindness from trauma.

Findings:

  • Blind eyes can harbor lethal tumors.
  • Early detection of tumors in blind eyes is frequently missed.
  • Malignant melanoma can present long after the initial cause of blindness.

Implications:

  • Regular examinations of blind eyes are essential for early tumor detection.

  • Ophthalmologists and primary care physicians must not neglect blind eyes during physical exams.
  • This practice can be life-saving.
