What are orbital diseases and tumors?

Patient's question:

The eyes always feel like there's something in them, and the vision is also rapidly declining. I got a pair of glasses, but after a while, the vision dropped again. It seems like something has grown inside the eyes. I've been too busy lately to have time to go to the hospital.

Doctor's answer:

Ophthalmic tumors, also known as eye tumors, include tumors of the eyelid, conjunctiva, various layers of the eyeball, and the ocular adnexa. Both benign and malignant tumors can damage ocular tissues and their functions. Malignant tumors can damage the eyeball and visual function, and may spread to the periocular area, intracranially, or to other parts of the body. Malignant tumors from other parts of the body can also metastasize to the eye. However, if they grow through the optic foramen or superior orbital fissure into the intracranial cavity, they can also threaten the patient's life and cause severe consequences. It is recommended to seek detailed medical examination at a hospital.
