If you're referring to melanoma on the eye and face, here are some key points based on the provided context:

### Melanoma on the Face:
- Mohs Surgery: This precise surgical technique is particularly useful for treating melanoma in sensitive areas like the face. It involves removing cancerous cells layer by layer while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. The process continues until no more cancer cells are detected.

### Ocular Melanoma:
- Symptoms: Melanoma can develop in the eye, known as ocular melanoma. Symptoms may include dark spots within the eye and vision changes. These symptoms can also be caused by other eye conditions, so it's important to consult an eye doctor for a proper diagnosis.

### General Advice:
- Early Detection: Being aware of early signs, such as new or changing moles, is crucial. If you notice any suspicious spots on your skin or changes in your vision, consult your doctor or dermatologist immediately.
