A 25-year-old woman who lost her eye to cancer takes her new look in her stride by matching her elaborate eye patches to her outfits.

Jess Van Zeil, from Melbourne, was forced to have her left eye removed when she was diagnosed with an aggressive eye cancer called ocular melanoma in 2015.

Doctors said her only hope of survival was to go under the knife, and surgeons removed her eye and eyelid, and closed off the socket.

In another cruel turn of events, Ms Van Zeil was diagnosed with five cancerous tumours on her brain after going to the hospital when she had a seizure at home.
