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.
The development of this campaign has been supported financially by a number of industry sponsors. Sponsors have had no input into the content of this campaign, all content has been designed and created by Ocular Melanoma UK. See our full list of industry sponsors here.
