Effect of exophthalmometer design on its accuracy.
Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 2005 November
PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of the design of different exophthalmometers on their measurement accuracy.
METHODS: Eight different exophthalmometers were tested with a specially developed calibrator by experienced orbital surgeons.
RESULTS: Exophthalmometers with one mirror and a straight footplate were found to be more accurate than others. One-mirror exophthalmometers were less accurate when assessing low (< or =12 mm) and high (> or =23 mm) exophthalmometric values.
CONCLUSIONS: The design of an exophthalmometer affects its accuracy.
