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.

Palpebral Fissure Length Z-score Calculator
for Canadian and Hall PFL Growth Charts
Click here to access the calculator
See (Astley SJ, 2011) and (Clarren et al, 2010) for more details.
Can the FAS Facial Photographic Analysis Software still be used to measure PFLs?
***YES***
The Canadian PFL Charts were generated using the
FAS Facial Photographic Analysis Software.
The software measures the PFL in two steps:
-
First, the software measures the length of the palpebral fissure in milimeters. This function remains unchanged.
-
Once the PFL is measured, the software will ask the User to select which PFL Normal Growth Chart they want to use to compute the PFL z-score. The z-score reflects how many standard deviations above or below the mean the patient's PFL is.
The current software provides the User with a choice of two PFL Charts:
1) The Hall (1989) Caucasian PFL Chart (reproduced in the 4-Digit Guide), or
2) The Iosub African American PFL Chart.
If the User would like to use the Canadian PFL Charts, use the PFL z-score calculator above. The Canadian PFL Charts will be added as a third choice of PFL growth chart in the next version of the Facial Software.
