Lumps and BumpsClinicians should always be on the lookout for eyelid lesions, considering the most likely locations of basal cell carcinomas—the most common cancerous lesions—match the pattern of eyeglasses. These include the eyelids where the lenses would be, the nose pad area and behind the ears where the temples are. This is an easy way to remember the most frequent locations for the presentation. Other less common lesions, such as squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma and sebaceous gland carcinoma, are also in our wheelhouse and should be suspected when lesions change or conditions such as blepharitis worsen even after treatment. Optometry’s role in caring for ocular surface disease and lid lesions is critical from diagnosis to treatment. In fact, it’s an area of medical eyecare we should own. These conditions, moreso than any others, provide an enormous opportunity for us to help more people. Incorporating better care can’t hurt our practices either.
