A retrospective analysis of morbidity of patients of the polyclinic and the 2nd ophthalmological department of Orenburg Regional Clinical Hospital No. 1 was performed for the patients aged 4 months to 90 years.Results. Over the analyzed period (2013-2017) the incidence of oncological diseases of the eye and adnexa fell by 42 %. On the other hand, the share of malignant neoplasms increased by 40.3 %. On the whole, out-patients with neoplasms showed 68.6 % of basal cell carcinomas and 31.4 % of other malignancies, while hospitalized patients showed 58 % of basal cell carcinomas, 23.7 % of uveal melanomas and 18.3 % of other malignancies. Oncopathology of the eye and adnexa was found to affect women twice as often as men.Conclusion.
