Presentation Of Case: A 33-year-old male presented with sudden onset right lower lid swelling and tearing. He was initially tolerating the symptoms, however, it got progressively worse, so he came two weeks after the initiation of symptoms.
Introduction: Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) can be serious as they may result in vision-threatening ocular inflammations and even loss of the eye. Delay in presentation or treatment by more than 24 hours from the time of injury results in a poor prognosis. In penetrating wounds, microorganisms enter the eye through penetrating objects.

Background: Elevated intraocular pressure in thyroid associated orbitopathy may lead to development of secondary glaucoma in them. This study evaluated IOP in primary gaze correlation with clinical activity score in them.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2020 to October 2021.
Purpose: To determine the binocular vision status in normally-sighted school aged children who used digital devices.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at B.P.
Introduction: Ophthalmic tumors cover benign and malignant tumors of eyelids, conjunctiva, globe, and orbit. There is limited literature on ophthalmic tumors in Nepal.

A 36 year old male presented with a two-month history of a progressively increasing proptosis of the right eye associated with redness. MRI of brain and orbit revealed a mass in the intraconal compartment in the lateral aspect of the right orbit that had T1, T2, and FLAIR high signal intensity and was completely suppressed in the STIR image. Excisional biopsy of the mass resolved the proptosis, and histology revealed encapsulated tumor composed of lobules of mature adipocytes along with fibro collagenous septa.

Orbital compartment syndrome is a rare presentation of orbital trauma and is an ophthalmic emergency. Delay in clinical diagnosis and subsequent surgical intervention will lead to loss of vision in nick of time. We presented a case series of orbital compartment syndrome secondary to trauma who presented to the emergency department of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital during the devastating earthquake in April 2015.

Case: A female child in her 2nd day of life was brought to our department with complains of forward bulging of the left eye which was noticed since the time of her birth.
Introduction. Orbital myiasis is the infestation of the orbital tissues by fly larvae or maggots. Compromise of periorbital tissues by malignant disease, surgery, ischemia, or infection may predispose the patient to orbital myiasis.

To our knowledge, this is the first case of its kind reported in the literature where a 60 years male presented with 6 months history of progressive painful diminution of vision in his left eye associated with inward and upward rotation of the same globe. Examination of left eye revealed displacement of the globe superomedially by an inferolateral mass with restriction of ocular motility in levoversion.
