1. Identify eye tumors such as retinoblastoma, malignant melanoma, optic nerve glioma, and optic nerve sheath meningioma

2. Outline the management of a case with ocular tumor.

The most common ocular tumor presenting early with leukocoria is:

a) Retinoblastoma

b) Malignant melanoma

c) Optic nerve glioma

d) Optic nerve sheath meningioma.

Abbreviations: DV, defective vision; OCT, ocular computerized tomography; SDL, self-directed learning.
