According to the Mayo Clinic, the risk factors for primary ocular melanoma include:
- Eye color
- Genetic disposition
- Sun exposure
The Clinic also recommends having a doctor examine you if you find a dark spot on your iris that is enlarging. Many doctors believe that skin and eye melanomas start from a mole (nevus), which is a noncancerous tumor of pigment cells.
