    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Neurofibromas are rare orbital tumors.
    • Early detection is crucial for managing orbital tumors.

    Observation:

    • Patients may present with normal visual acuity, proptosis, or impaired ocular motility.
    • Ophthalmic nurses are often the first healthcare professionals to encounter these patients.

    Findings:

    • A case of orbital neurofibroma is presented.
    • This highlights the importance of recognizing subtle signs.

    Implications:

    • Increased awareness among ophthalmic nurses can lead to earlier diagnosis.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management improve patient outcomes for orbital neurofibromas.
