A novel scoring system for Hess charts objectively measures eye muscle balance. This validated system shows good correlation with patient-reported outcomes, aiding motility disorder research and clinical practice.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Clinical Measurement
  • Strabismus Research

Background:

  • Hess charts are used to assess ocular motility and muscle balance.
  • Quantifying changes in muscle balance objectively can be challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate a new scoring system for Hess charts.
  • To enable objective analysis of muscle balance changes in motility disorders.

Main Methods:

  • A new scoring system was developed using weighting factors for different zones of the Hess chart.
  • The system calculates scores for horizontal and vertical deviations based on point displacement.
  • The system was validated on 24 patients with paralytic or restrictive strabismus undergoing surgery.

Main Results:

  • A good correlation was found between the changes in subjective patient scores and the objective scores from the new Hess chart system.
  • The scoring system demonstrated reliability in assessing pre- and post-operative changes.

Conclusions:

  • The new Hess chart scoring system provides an objective method for analyzing muscle balance.
  • This system is applicable in both clinical practice and research for motility disorders.
