Abstract

The past medical history can sometimes provide diagnostic clues, for example, if the patient has been a heavy smoker for many years or if a previous mastectomy has been performed. The duration of the visual loss can have prognostic significance, for example, in patients with choroidal hemangioma in whom visual loss is irreversible if long-standing. This chapter highlights procedures that are specific to the assessment of a patient with a uveal tumor. It is assumed that a full ophthalmic and systemic history is routinely obtained in all patients in addition to clinically relevant ancillary investigations.
