Anterior segment tumor removal is a surgical procedure used to remove tumors from the front part of the eye, including the cornea, iris, and lens. These tumors can be benign or malignant, and they may affect vision or lead to other complications if not treated.
The procedure involves removing the tumor and, in some cases, may include reconstructive surgery to restore the appearance and function of the eye. This surgery is essential for preventing further damage to the eye and preserving vision.
Anterior segment tumor removal is typically performed on an outpatient basis, and recovery time depends on the size and location of the tumor.
