Abstract Introduction Uveal melanoma has a relatively low incidence. Transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT), hypofractioned stereotactic radiotherapy (RT), stereotactic radiosurgery, plaque brachytherapy, charged particle radiation therapy, local tumor resection, enucleation, and exantation are applied in the treatment. Methods The importance given to radiotherapy has increased to get more satisfactory results while treating the patient. However, it is the treatment of radiation retinopathy and optic neuropathy from complications. Results Radiation retinopathy and optic neuropathy are the most important complications related to radiotherapy in the treatment of uveal melanoma. In recent years, many studies have been performed on the treatment of radiation retinopathy and optic neuropathy. Conclusion The consecutive use of triamcinolone in combination with anti-VEGF supports that it may be a future therapeutic agent in the treatment of complications.
