Background: Symmetry of facial features often correlates with a perception of physical attractiveness, and ophthalmologists are sometimes consulted by patients for eyelid, eyebrow, or orbital asymmetry. Our objective was to determine the prevalence of ocular adnexal asymmetry among people generally regarded as attractive.
Methods: The mean width of the horizontal palpebral fissure (MHPF) for both men and women was determined in 40 adult volunteers.
Background: Despite the potential for eye injury, most hockey players in the National Hockey League do not use a protective face shield. We examined the effect of a hockey visor and sports goggle on visual function to see whether visual impediment is a substantial factor in the resistance to use of protective eyewear.
Methods: We measured Snellen visual acuity, Ishihara colour vision and contrast sensitivity and performed Humphrey central 30 degrees and peripheral 30 degrees to 60 degrees threshold perimetry in eight volunteers (10 eyes) with and without a sports goggle and a hockey visor (half face shield).
