Yes. You can get cancer in any part of your body.

Yes.
Cancer of the eye is uncommon. It can affect the outer parts of the eye, such as the eyelid, which are made up of muscles, skin and nerves. If the cancer starts inside the eyeball it's called intraocular cancer. The most common intraocular cancers in adults are melanoma and lymphoma. The most common eye cancer in children is retinoblastoma, which starts in the cells of the retina. Cancer can also spread to the eye from other parts of the body.

Treatment for eye cancer varies by the type and by how advanced it is. It may include surgery, radiation therapy, freezing or heat therapy, or laser therapy.

The eye has 3 major parts: the globe, the orbit, and the adnexal structures.

yes it is called retinoblastoma it can be unilateral or bilateral in other words floaters but if the cancer is in the eyeballs its called intraocular check at your opitcans he/she will tell you.
