Background:
Photographic measurements of facial and ocular distances of 200 normal male Arab children have been undertaken.
Methods:
Measurements include inter inner canthal distance (IICD), inter outer canthal distance (IOCD), length of the palpebral fissure (LPFOD), width of the palpebral fissure (WPFOD), horizontal corneal diameter (HVDOD), vertical brow-nasal distance (VBND), interpupillary distance (IPD), bridge height (BH) and frontal angle (AANG).
Results:
Percentile values of the measured distances have been given. These values will aid in syndrome diagnosis.
Conclusions:
They will also be useful to manufacturers of spectacle frames and lenses. Our values have been compared to those obtained from young males of other racial backgrounds.
