Palpebral Fissure Length Ruler
15 cm clear plastic ruler for measuring palpebral fissure length. Use of a handheld rule rarely results in accurate measures. More accurate measures of PFL can be obtained using the FAS Facial Photographic Analysis Software. If a ruler is used, video animations are provided on the FAS Tutor Software demonstrating how to accurately measure PFL with a ruler. Click here to see a video demonstrating the importance of having the eye fully open when measuring it's length.
