Ocular metastasis is considered a rare phenomenon. Metastatic spread of tumors in the eyeball is usually discovered only when it affects the visual acuity. In women, breast tumors are to known metastasize in and around the eyeball. Cervical carcinomas are rarely known to metastasize in the eyeball. We present here a rare case of ocular metastasis, diagnosed on fine-needle aspiration cytology, in a known case of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix.
