Ocular Melanoma October 2026

Ocular Melanoma October is our annual awareness campaign where we aim to bring together patients, families, clinicians and supporters to raise awareness about this rare cancer.

October is a special month for us here at Ocular Melanoma UK and each year we celebrate Ocular Melanoma Day on 10 October 2025, recognising and marking the day we were founded back in 2009.
