Abstract
After ruthenium brachytherapy for uveal melanoma, the survival rates and visual outcomes in this population-based investigation were similar to previously published results. The eye was retained in 81.7% of patients. Careful patient selection (presently we only treat melanomas 7 mm or smaller in height) and life-long monitoring for recurrences is warranted.
