Photographic measurements of facial and ocular distances of 200 normal male Arab children have been undertaken. Measurements include inter inner canthal distance (IICD), inter outer canthal distance (IOCD), length of the palpebral fissure (LPFOD), width of the palpebral fissure (WPFOD), horizontal corneal diameter (HVDOD), vertical brow-nasal distance (VBND), interpupillary distance (IPD), bridge height (BH) and frontal angle (AANG). Percentile values of the measured distances have been given. These values will aid in syndrome diagnosis. They will also be useful to manufacturers of spectacle frames and lenses. Our values have been compared to those obtained from young males of other racial backgrounds.
