Abstract EN
Purpose.
To establish the prevalence of nasopupillary asymmetry (difference in nasopupillary distances) in the population and its relation with the interpupillary distance.
Methods.
A retrospective descriptive study was conducted by reviewing of 1262 medical records.
The values of nasopupillary asymmetry and the interpupillary distance were obtained.
A statistical analysis was made and the correlation between these variables was established.
Results.
Seventy-nine percent of the population presented some degree of nasopupillary asymmetry.
The interpupillary distance had a very low correlation with the nasopupillary asymmetry ( r = 0.074 , P = 0.0 ) .
Conclusion.
It is advisable to use the nasopupillary distance of each eye as a standard measurement.
