What are the tests for intraocular melanoma?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Exam: Testing for intraocular melanoma starts with a complete eye exam by an ophthalmologist. Ancillary eye testing includes an ultrasound of the eye, photos, and an angiogram. Blood tests and other radiologic tests (chest x-ray or ct of the chest) are often also ordered to look for evidence of metastasis or spread of the melanoma outside the eye.

Eye exam: An eye examination by an ophthamologist is usually how the diagnosis is made. More detailed examination by a specialist in retinas or ocular oncology may follow. A biopsy can be done by the specialist.
