# Eye moles

[Eye "moles" usually refer to benign pigmented lesions](https://bluefinvision.com/blog/what-is-an-eye-freckle/) such as conjunctival naevi or choroidal naevi. Most remain harmless but require monitoring.

## Types and appearance

Location influences both appearance and risk.

- Conjunctival naevi on the white of the eye, often present from childhood
- Choroidal naevi in the back of the eye detected on dilated exam
- Flat or slightly elevated, with variable pigmentation
- Some features raise concern for transformation to melanoma

## Management

Regular review helps detect any suspicious change early.

- Baseline photography and measurements at diagnosis
- Monitoring for growth, thickness increase, orange pigment, or fluid
- Biopsy or excision of atypical conjunctival lesions
- Referral to ocular oncology if melanoma is suspected
