Summary

This study established normal exophthalmometric values for Indians aged 3-80, developing regression equations to aid in diagnosing eye conditions. These findings are crucial for early detection and management of orbital diseases.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Anthropometry
  • Medical Statistics

Background:

  • Exophthalmometry is essential for assessing orbital health.
  • Establishing population-specific normal values is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
  • Previous data may not accurately reflect the Indian population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine exophthalmometric values in a normal Indian population.
  • To develop regression equations for calculating these values based on age and sex.
  • To provide a normative dataset for clinical use.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 2500 clinically normal Indians (3-80 years) was studied.
  • Hertel's exophthalmometer was used for eye protrusion measurements.
  • Statistical analysis was performed to derive mean values and regression equations.

Main Results:

  • Normal exophthalmometric ranges were 7-19 mm (males) and 7-21 mm (females).
  • Values showed age-related variations, peaking in the 6th-7th decades and decreasing in the 8th.
  • Specific regression equations were formulated for males and females for both eyes.

Conclusions:

  • Normal exophthalmometric trends in Indians are similar to other populations.
  • These established values and equations aid in diagnosing conditions like endocrine eye disease and orbital tumors.
  • The findings support improved clinical assessment and follow-up for various orbital and ocular conditions.
