Survey of Australian primary eyecare management of choroidal nevus patients
The majority of Australian primary eyecare practitioners used multiple imaging techniques to detect and monitor choroidal nevi. There were, however, gaps in knowledge associated with identifying risk factors for choroidal nevus growth. Our findings align with recent UK studies that highlight the importance of diligent screening and review, timely referral for potential melanoma-related risks, and encourage multidisciplinary care for choroidal nevus patients.
