PATIENT VOICE “As well as being my husband’s caregiver, I have become an advocate for Irish patients with ocular melanoma and their families. Unfortunately, Ireland may have the highest proportion of ocular melanoma patients per population. But no one knows why! My husband and I hope that people all over the world will participate in the CURE OM initiative’s VISION Registry, to provide an internationally based collection of information as a resource that can be used by researchers to answer the yet unanswered questions about ocular melanoma that will lead to finding a cure.” — VISION Participant in Ireland
