Ocular surface and anterior chamber malignancies are rare but potentially serious diseases. Initial signs and symptoms may be insignificant. Therefore, the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment are often delayed. This recorded webinar provides an overview of the most important malignancies and pre-malignancies of the ocular surface and anterior chamber and how to spot them and an update on the latest classification and terminology of such lesions.
The conditions covered are:
- Conjunctival tumours
- Epithelial
- Solar elastosis
- Squamous cell papilloma
- Squamous cell intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)
- Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)
- Stromal
- Reactive lymphoid hyperplasia
- Malignant lymphoma
- Melanocytic
- Complex-associated conjunctival pigmentation
- Conjunctival naevus

Anterior eye lesions are common in community practice and it is important that optometrists are confident making an accurate assessment and refer those that may indicate more serious conditions.
