Opthalmic Pathology

Ophthalmic pathology is the subspecialty of surgical pathology and also a subspecialty of ophthalmology which deals with the diagnosis and characterization of neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases of the eyes. Ophthalmic pathology focuses on diseases of the eye and its neighboring tissues. Ophthalmic pathology gives  a significant diagnosis of malignancy, epithelial down growth or sympathetic endophthalmitis. Eye cancers can be differentiated into primary (starts within the eye) and metastatic cancer (spread to the eye from another organ) basing on pathological reports.
