    A novel exophthalmometer offers a cost-effective, user-friendly alternative to existing devices. This new instrument provides enhanced accuracy and reliability for measuring eye protrusion.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Devices
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Accurate measurement of exophthalmos is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring various ocular conditions.
    • Existing exophthalmometers, such as the Hertel and Luedde types, have limitations in terms of cost, accuracy, or ease of use.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and describe a new exophthalmometer designed to overcome the limitations of current devices.
    • To present a novel instrument that is both cost-effective and highly accurate for clinical use.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and design of a new exophthalmometer.
    • Comparative analysis of the new device against established exophthalmometers (Hertel and Luedde types).
    • Evaluation of accuracy, reliability, and usability through standardized testing protocols.
