Objective: Determining the clinical characteristics of patients with primary orbital mass and evaluating how the existing visual function values change after treatment. Tools and Methods: The records of patients who appeal to our clinic due to the primary orbital mass were examined retrospectively. All patients were evaluated by ophthalmological examination, which included vision accuracy, vision area, fundus and colorful vision in the 3rd month before and after the operation. Results: In 45 of the 55 patients involved in the study (81.8%) orbital mass was orbital, while in 10 (18.2%) patients were in the form of non-tumor mass. Detected in all orbital masses the lesion dermoid cystis (32.7%). 66.7% of tumor masses were benign, and 33.3% were malign. The symptom in patients was prophysis (40%). In comparison with the control eyes in the orbital mass, the visual accuracy and the field values (statistically significantly lower, and the changes in the fundus and the disturbance in color vision were statistically significantly higher). The orbital mass of the eyes, compared with the pre- and post-treatment visual functions, statistically significantly increased in vision accuracy and vision area values, and statistically significantly reduced in fundus changes and color vision. The result: Primary orbital masses have adverse effects on visual functions. A significant improvement in visual functions is observed after the treatment of primary orbital masses.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to identify clinical features of patients with primary orbital mass and evaluate how visual function parameters change following treatment. Materials and Methods: Medical records of patients with primary orbital mass were retrospectively investigated. All patients were evaluated with ophthalmological examination including visual acuity, visual field, fundus and color vision before and after 3 months of surgery. Results: Of the 55 patients included in the study, 45 (81.8%) had tumoral and 10 (18.2%) had non tumoral masses. Most common lesion was dermoid cyst in all orbital masses (32.7%). Of the tumoral masses, 66.7% were benign and 33.3% were malign. Most common presenting symptom was proptosis (40%). Compared with control eyes, eyes with orbital masses had significantly lower visual acuity and visual field (values and significantly higher fundus changes and color vision impairment. Compared with before treatment, eyes with orbital masses had significantly higher visual acuity and visual field values and significantly lower fundus changes  and color vision impairment (after surgery.   Conclusion: Primary orbital massess have negative impacts on visual function. Significant improvement in visual functions could be seen after treatment of primary orbital masses.
