:The risk of progression of iris nevi to melanoma at 5, 10, 15, and 20 years is 3, 4, 8, and 11 percent, respectively.

:Significant risk factors associated with an increased risk of transformation of choroidal nevi to choroidal melanoma include thickness greater than 2 mm, subretinal fluid :accumulation, symptoms such as decreased vision and presence of flashes or floaters, presence of orange pigment, distance from the optic nerve less than 3 mm, hollow rather :than solid on ultrasound, and absence of a halo.
