Dr. Paul Finger

Dr. Paul T. Finger is an eye cancer expert with extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers in and around the eye. He uses the latest diagnostic imaging and ultrasound techniques, including high-frequency anterior segment ultrasound (ultrasonic biomicroscopy) and optical coherence tomography, to make expert diagnoses without biopsy. He has invented the Finger Iridectomy Technique for biopsy of iris and ciliary body tumors, the FACT micro incision orbitotomy technique for orbital tumors, and palladium-103 plaque radiation therapy for improved outcomes. He also developed the most widely used treatment for ocular radiation side effects such as radiation retinopathy and radiation optic neuropathy.

Dr. Finger treats a range of eye cancers including choroidal melanoma, ciliary body melanoma, iris melanoma, retinoblastoma, conjunctival melanoma, squamous carcinoma, metastatic cancer to the eye, and orbital tumors. He offers sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic options, including brachytherapy with radioactive plaques, and places 4K HD displays in each examination room to help patients understand their diagnosis, treatment alternatives, and current status. He is committed to patient education and shared decision-making throughout the care process.
