Ocular rotations and the Hirschberg test Abstract The Hirschberg test is an objective means of determining the angle of strabismus by noting the distance the corneal reflex of a light source is from the center of the entrance pupil. A scale factor is used in converting the amount the reflex distance is in millimeters ot prism diopters. Recent studies have demonstrated this factor to be 22 prism diopters for each millimeter. This study notes how axial length would effect this scale factor. Using ultrasound axial lengths of thirty eyes were measured and compared to the results of a Hirschberg simulation. A small effect results from this comparison. The mean values of scale factor determination noted twenty-three prism diopters per millimeter.

This technique avoids the use of any special instruments such as the Reese ptosis knife and Wright needle. A sling operation is by far the easiest of all ptosis with the Marcus Gunn phenomenon after disinser- operations to perform. Though it may have im- tion of levator muscle from the tarsal plate (Table 1). portant disadvantages, such as the risk of lagophthal- mos and lid lag in down gaze, it is the operation of SURGICAL PROCEDURE choice for certain cases of gross bilateral ptosis with The operation is carried out under general anaes- poor levator function as seen in the blepharophimosis thesia. The first step is to lift the lid with the help of syndrome, cases of mechanical ptosis, and in severe the index finger just medial to the centre of the upper unilateral ptosis covering the pupillary area to pre- lid and observe the contour of the lid margin in vent amblyopia before a definitive levator operation relation to the limbus. This gives an approximate idea can be carried out.
