I was reading through some old e-mails and found yours which I
hadnt read before,
I guess you must have had a lot of replies by now.
If not, all ophthalmologists measure proptosis by Hertel. This
instrument measures the distance between the anterior edge of the
cornea and the lateral canthal angle (which is the name of the
place you are referring to). There are some publications on this:
average among men, women, blacks etc. Normal values for
Europen men are below 19mm and for women below 16mm.
Well maybe never too late. Let me know if you cant find the
references.
