Evaluation of Ocular Versions in Graves' Orbitopathy: Correlation between the Qualitative Clinical Method and the Quantitative Photographic Method.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess the agreement between the qualitative clinical method and the quantitative photographic method of evaluating normal and abnormal ocular versions in patients with inactive Graves' orbitopathy (GO).

Methods

Forty-two patients with inactive GO had their ocular versions evaluated clinically according to three categories: normal, moderate alterations (-1 or -2 hypofunction), and severe alterations (-3 or -4 hypofunction). The subjects were photographed in the 9 positions of gaze, and the extent (mm) of eye movement in each position was estimated using Photoshop^® and ImageJ and converted into degrees with a well-established method. The agreement between the two methods (qualitative vs. quantitative) for classifying ocular versions as normal or abnormal
