Coping and support
By Mayo Clinic staffThe result of eye melanoma and its treatment can be traumatic for you — partial or complete loss of vision and, in some cases, removal of your eye (enucleation). Overcoming the trauma and the challenges involves the support of your friends and family, adequate time to heal and adjust, and modern technology.
If your cancer treatment leaves you with vision in only one eye (monocular vision), it's still possible to do most things you were able to do with two working eyes. But you'll need to make adjustments, primarily regarding your ability to judge distance, and it may be more difficult to be aware of things around you, especially things occurring on the side without vision.
