3. Ocular Surface Tumors / OSSN
Ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) compromises a wide spectrum of disease involving abnormal growth of dysplastic squamous epithelial cells on the surface of the eye. Various topical chemotherapeutic agents are available which are very effective according to the stage of disease such as Interferon-α2b, mitomycin C and 5- fluorouracil.
