How we treat it
Dr. Samir finds out whether the problem is in the eyelid, on the eye surface, inside the eye or in the orbit. He may arrange a scan or a small tissue sample (biopsy). Some treatment may need another centre or specialist; he explains this and helps coordinate it.
If removing a growth affects the eyelid, he also plans the repair.

Common questions
Does every eyelid lump mean eyelid cancer?
No. Many are harmless. A lump that grows, bleeds or does not settle should be checked.
Is a photo of my lump enough?
No. A photo helps describe the change, but it cannot replace an examination.
Does a biopsy mean cancer has been found?
No. A biopsy shows what the lump is, so we can plan your care.
Is all eye cancer treatment done here?
Dr. Samir explains which care is done here and which needs another centre, and helps you arrange it.
