It’s Movember! I hope everybody is supporting Movember by growing a moustache or donating to this great cause. Sometimes campaigns like this helps promote cancer awareness in both men and women.

The problem with most cancer is that you don’t feel any pain or any symptoms until it’s too late. That’s why early detection is always the key for survival rate. Most cancers of the eye and orbit in adults are melanomas, with lymphomas being the next most common. Both of these cancers start more often in other parts of the body. More than 9 out of 10 melanomas start in the skin, while most lymphomas begin in lymph nodes.
If you have not had a full physical done within the past year or an eye exam within the past 2 years, please schedule an appointment with your doctor.
