Object Description
Hand held ‘Monocular Maddox Phoria Measure’ designed to measure Anisophoria which is the change in the phoria away from the primary position. The measure combines a large 25mm aperture, a red Maddox rod disc mounted perpendicular to the integral handle in a 10PD prism which can be rotated from the side by an adjusting wheel. When the handle is vertical, Maddox Rods are horizontal and the patient sees a vertical streak. When the handle is horizontal, Maddox Rods are vertical and the patient sees a horizontal streak. A scale from 0 - 10 prism diopters indicates the measure of imbalance.
