    This study demonstrates that low-cost microcomputers can effectively manage large uveal melanoma patient databases. This approach facilitates data processing, storage, and analysis for ophthalmology research.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pathology
    • Medical Informatics

    Background:

    • Uveal melanoma is a significant ocular malignancy.
    • Managing large patient datasets in pathology presents challenges.
    • Efficient data handling is crucial for research and clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the feasibility of using affordable microcomputers for managing a large uveal melanoma patient database.
    • To evaluate the utility of commercially available software for diverse data processing tasks in ophthalmology research.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a low-cost microcomputer with unmodified commercial software.
    • Implemented functions for word processing, patient file management, data plotting, and statistical analysis.
    • Compiled data from over 700 uveal melanoma cases from Wills Eye Hospital pathology records.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully managed a database of over 700 uveal melanoma cases.
    • Over 150 ophthalmologists contributed to the database.
    • Patient data showed a mean age of 57 years, with even distribution by sex and eye laterality.

    Conclusions:

    • Low-cost microcomputers and standard software are feasible tools for managing extensive patient databases in uveal melanoma research.
    • This technology can streamline data management, analysis, and manuscript preparation in pathology and ophthalmology.
    • The findings support the integration of microcomputer technology in large-scale medical research studies.
