    Eye Neurology

    The subspecialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all types of eye tumors is called "Ocular Oncology." Ocular oncology, or the study of eye tumors, is a field that requires two years of additional training after the ophthalmology residency. Developing globally as a subspecialty of ophthalmology, "Ocular Oncology" is a specialized subspecialty that requires close collaboration and multidisciplinary teamwork with various medical sciences, including radiation oncology, pathology, radiology, medical oncology, and genetics, as well as all other areas of the eye. Ocular oncologic evaluation is, therefore, the area where ophthalmology is most closely intertwined with systemic medicine.
