Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular tumor in adults. New diagnostic procedures and basic science discoveries continue to change our patient management paradigms. A recent meeting of the European Vision Institute (EVI) special interest focus group was held on "Outcome Measures of New Technologies in Uveal Melanoma,"addressing the latest advances in UM, starting with genetic developments, then moving on to imaging and treatment of the primary tumor, as well as to investigating the most recent developments in treating metastases, and eventually taking care of the patient's well-being. This review highlights the meeting's presentations in the context of the published literature.

Funding Information:
This workshop, which was supported by the European Vision Institute (EVI), featured numerous new technologies for outcome measures for UM. With the advancement of diagnostic tests, new genetic and imaging biomarkers, and especially potential treatments of metastatic disease, exciting new strategies to improve the care for patients with UM are being developed and integrated into clinical practice.
