When to seek medical advice
By Mayo Clinic staffSome types of eye melanomas can be detected only by an eye doctor, so it's a good idea to have regular, routine eye examinations. Because this type of cancer is rare, there's no screening test other than an eye examination.
If you observe a dark spot on your iris that is enlarging, have a doctor examine it. Many doctors believe that skin and eye melanomas start from a mole (nevus). If you have a nevus or a freckle in your eye, have it checked regularly by an eye doctor.
