Abstract

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 ( <= 12 mm) and high ( >= 23 mm) exophthalmometric values. Conclusions: The design of an exophthalmometer affects its accuracy
