My mom had surgery on her eye and they found a lymphatic tumor and said for us to look up info on lymphoma around the eye. Are there specific oncologists who deal with this?

The doctors told YOU to look

The doctors told YOU to look up info? Has it really come to that, docs sending us to the internet?

At any rate, this IS a little tricky but if you go looking for an optometry oncologist, I don't know, you may be looking for a while (or not, I didn't do the search). Either way, I wouldn't waste much time, I think an oncologist with a specialty in lymphomas will do just fine. There are a few ways ocular lymphoma can go, some far more preferable than others, no point in going in to them without knowing what she might have, I'm just saying, if she were my mom I'd push her to the nearest oncologist as soon as possible. Just in case.
