Intraocular eye cancers include Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma-usually develops in lymph nodes (glands throughout the body that are part of the immune system); ocular melanoma-develops in the lining of the eyeball, the muscles that focus the eye, the iris (the colored part of the eye) or the inner surface of eyelids (conjunctiva); melanoma, one of the most common types of intraocular eye cancers; retinoblastoma-which develops in the retina and can affect one or both eyes. It is often inherited and develops in young children, usually under 5.
