It was in 1872, the first case of a choroidal metastasis was reported by Perls. 90% of uveal tract metastasis is located in choroid. The most common primaries are from breast in females and lung in males. Here we report a case of choroidal metastasis from prostate adenocarcinoma. There had been reports of only 09 other patients with choroidal metastasis from prostate. We believe this is the first time this is being reported in India.
