The ocular histologic records of all hospital and private pathologic
laboratories in metropolitan Brisbane, Australia, were surveyed from 1980
through 1989. One hundred thirty-nine cases of histologically proven
dysplasia, carcinoma in situ, and invasive carcinoma of the cornea and
conjunctiva were identified. The incidence of these conditions in the area
surveyed is estimated to be 1.9 per 100,000 per year averaged for 10 years.
