Uveal melanoma represents the most prevalent form of primary malignant intraocular tumor in adults. Historically, enucleation was considered the gold-standard approach in the treatment of uveal melanoma. Currently, radiotherapy is the most commonly used therapy, aiming at a better quality of life. However, radiotherapy can result in several ocular complications, some of which may be vision-threatening. Radiation-induced dry eye, scleral necrosis, cataract, rubeosis iridis, neovascular glaucoma, radiation retinopathy, maculopathy, and optic neuropathy are the most common complications. This article aims to summarize the current literature regarding the ocular complications after radiotherapy, as well as their clinical features, risk factors, and management strategies. A thorough understanding of these issues is crucial for ophthalmologists and oncologists to provide optimal patient care, improve visual outcomes, and minimize long-term complications.
葡萄膜黑色素瘤是成年人原发性眼内恶性肿瘤中最常见的形式。历史上,眼球摘除术被认为是治疗葡萄膜黑色素瘤的金标准方法。目前,放射治疗是最常用的治疗方法,旨在提高生活质量。然而,放射治疗会导致多种眼部并发症,其中一些可能会威胁到视力。放射性干眼症、巩膜坏死、白内障、虹膜新生血管、新生血管性青光眼、放射性视网膜病变、黄斑病变和视神经病变是最常见的并发症。本文旨在总结放射治疗后眼部并发症的现有文献,以及它们的临床特征、危险因素和管理策略。眼科医生和肿瘤学家深入了解这些问题对于为患者提供最佳护理、改善视力结果和最小化长期并发症至关重要。
