**Light eye color
**[[Age]]: (The mean age for uveal melanoma is 55 years old and its [[incidence]] drops after 70 years of [[age]])
**Fair skin color
**[[Male]] gender
**Propensity to sunburn
**[[Race]]: Whites are more commonly affected by uveal melanoma than blacks.
*Inherited skin disorders
**[[Genetics|Genetic]]
**Certain inherited skin disorders such as [[dysplastic nevus syndrome]] may increase the risk of developing melanoma on skin and in eye. Some people with ocular melanocytosis with abnormal skin pigmentation involving the eyelids and adjacent tissues and increased pigmentation on their uvea have an increased risk of developing eye melanoma.
**[[Ocular]] [[nevi]]
**Approximately 0.6% uveal melanomas are considered to be familial. Uveal melanomas may occur as a part of familial syndromes such as xeroderma pigmentosa, [[Li-Fraumeni syndrome]] and [[familial]] [[breast]] and [[ovarian cancer]]. Approximately 0.0017% of the primary uveal melanoma patients were in the setting of [[familial]] atypical mole and melanoma syndrome (FAMM). Patients with this syndrome were relatively young with a mean age of 40 years. An association of [[neurofibromatosis type 1]] and uveal melanoma has also been suggested as both are of neural crest origin. Oculodermal and ocular melanocytosis, [[dysplastic nevi]] and cutaneous melanoma are associated with an increased risk of uveal melanoma development. [[Ocular]] and oculodermal melanocytosis are approximately 35 to 70 times more common in uveal melanoma patients.<ref name="vanKoopmans2013">{{cite journal|last1=van|first1=J.G.M.|last2=Koopmans|first2=A.E.|last3=Verdijk|first3=R.M.|last4=Naus|first4=N.C.|last5=de|first5=A.|last6=Kilic|first6=E.|title=Diagnosis, Histopathologic and Genetic Classification of Uveal Melanoma|year=2013|doi=10.5772/53631}}</ref>
**[[Hormones]]: [[Pregnancy]] may increase the [[incidence]] of uveal melanoma.

***The risk of progression of iris nevi to melanoma at 5, 10, 15, and 20 years is 3, 4, 8, and 11 percent, respectively.
