eye cancer

Dear Doctor,

From your experience, what is the likelyhood of a 20 year old, tann skin, dark eye colors, no family history of eye cancer, to develop eye cancer?

is there any age where humans are more prone to develop this condition?

Very rare with that history. Probably 1 chance in 10,000  Older you get higher the risk, risk higher in light skin, fair complected, blue eyes.

It may be some benign mass or some sinus infection, leave this cancer thought from your mind it will only depress you more.
