[New methods of measuring the mobility of ocular prosthesis in anophthalmia and their comparative study].

Abstract

Methods for measuring the mobility of ocular prostheses in patients with anophthalmia were developed and compared between each other and with the traditional Forster method for measuring the prosthesis mobility along perimeter. The most accurate method is measurement of the angle tangent (method No. 3), while Forster measurement is the least accurate and most subjective. The most rapid method is making use of millimeter pattern, which can be used in early terms after surgery in adults and children. All methods are convenient, simple, and require no special training.
