Abstract:Introduction: 
This study aims to assess the effective lateral margin requirements for target coverage in ocular proton therapy (OPT), considering the unique challenges posed by eye motion and hypofractionation. It specifically addresses the previously unaccounted-for uncertainty contribution of intra-fractional motion, in conjunction with setup uncertainties, on dosimetric determination of lateral margin requirements.
