Eye Meter

An eye gauge is a tool for measuring the linear dimensions of tumors and other formations on the eyelids and eyeball.

It is a special caliper with two diverging legs. One leg has a flat tip for pressing against the skin in the eyelid or sclera area. The other leg ends with a curved hook, which is carefully brought to the edge of the tumor or other formation. The distance between the legs is measured on a caliper scale in millimeters or fractions of a millimeter.

This design allows you to safely and accurately measure the size of tumors on the surface of the eye, which is important for dynamic monitoring, diagnosis and evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment. The eye meter is a must-have tool in ophthalmic practice.



An eye gauge is an instrument that is used to measure the linear dimensions of tumors and other formations located on the patient's eyelids and eyeball. It can be used to diagnose various diseases such as tumors, cysts, abscesses and others.

The eye meter consists of several parts:

  1. The base on which the measuring scale is located.
  2. A handle that is used to hold the meter.
  3. A rod that is inserted into the patient's eyeball or eyelid.
  4. A sensor that detects the movement of a rod inside the eye or on the eyelid.

The principle of operation of the eye meter is based on the fact that a rod inserted into the eye or onto the eyelid causes tissue movement and, accordingly, a change in the position of the sensor. These changes are recorded by the sensor and transmitted to the computer, where they are displayed on the screen in the form of a graph.

The measurement accuracy of an eye meter depends on many factors, such as the physician's experience, correct insertion of the rod, and proper use of the instrument. However, due to its high accuracy and ease of use, the eye meter has become widely used in ophthalmology and other medical fields.

In conclusion, the eye meter is an important tool for diagnosing and treating many eye diseases. It allows you to quickly and accurately measure the linear dimensions of tumors and other neoplasms on the eyelids and eyeballs, which helps doctors make more informed decisions about patient treatment.
