Hertel exophthalmometers take a measurement from the lateral orbital rim to the corneal apex. If a patient presents with an orbital fracture or after lateral orbitotomy, the use of a Hertel exophthalmometer may be complicated because the lateral orbital rim serves as a reference point for this instrument.
Hertel exophthalmometer: A system of mirrors or prisms that projects a lateral view of the eye against a ruler that measures the distance from the lateral canthus to the anterior surface of the cornea: To evaluate the prominence of the eye, which increases in hyperthyroidism [14] [15] Luedde exophthalmometer
After the First World War, Hertel moved to Berlin before leaving for the University of Leipzig in 1920, where he remained until his retirement in 1935. Hertel invented the Hertel exophthalmometer, a method of measuring eye displacement. With his colleague, Jakob Stilling, he developed the Stilling-Hertel test for colour vision deficiency.
Hertel & Reuss was a manufacturer of optical instruments based in Kassel, Germany, which emerged around 1995 following the bankruptcy of its predecessor company (founded in 1927 by Otto Hertel and Eduard Reuss.) The owners of Hertel & Reuss KG were Herr Eduard Reuss and his two sons Herr Gerhard Reuss and Herr Helmut Reuss.

It measures visual acuity loss: positive values indicate vision loss, while negative values denote normal or better visual acuity. This scale is commonly used clinically and in research because the lines are of equal length and so it forms a continuous scale with equally spaced intervals between points, unlike Snellen charts, which have ...
The CIE distributes standard tables with luminosity function values at 5 nm intervals from 380 nm to 780 nm. [ cie 1 ] The standard luminous efficiency function is normalized to a peak value of unity at 555 nm (see luminous coefficient ).
