**1. Introduction**

The incidence of melanoma continues to rise globally with significant mortality in spite of modern treatment protocols [1]. Ocular melanoma is the most common type of melanoma in adults after the cutaneous melanoma. It constitutes 3.7% of all melanomas [2]. It results due to the abnormal proliferation of the melanocytes in the eye. Based on the location, the ocular melanoma can be broadly classified as follows:

	- a. Iris melanoma
	- b. Trabecular meshwork melanoma
	- c. Iridotrabeculociliary or iridociliary melanoma
	- d. Ciliary body melanoma
	- e. Choroidal melanoma
	- f. Ciliochoroidal melanoma
