JVMRS Maddox Rod Set

The Maddox Rod Set  is an ophthalmic tool used to detect and measure eye alignment deviations (heterophorias and heterotropias). The tool itself typically consists of one or more handheld or trial-frame-mounted cylindrical lenses, often one red and one clear/white, which distort a point source of light into a line.

Description

  • Cylindrical Lenses: The rod is made of a series of parallel, plano-convex cylindrical lenses. When a patient looks at a point source of light through it, the light is refracted into a line (or streak) of light that is perpendicular to the orientation of the cylinders.
  • Dissociation: By placing the Maddox rod in front of one eye (often the right eye with a red rod, so that eye sees a red line), the patient views a white light with the other eye. The images presented to each eye are so different that the brain cannot merge them.
TopicDiscription
Purpose / Target UsersThe Maddox Rod Set is intended for binocular vision testing — specifically it is used to assess horizontal or vertical phorias/tropias by presenting a line image from a point light source via a cylindrical‑lens rod. The product page lists it under “Examination Tools, Maddox”.
Optotypes / SymbolsThe device doesn’t use optotypes (letters or symbols) — rather it produces a line streak via the rod. The listing does not provide any further “symbol” details.
Scaling / SpacingNo information is given about groove spacing of the rod or scaling relative to testing distance.
Range of Acuity / Line SizesNot applicable in the normal “acuity chart” sense (no line sizes for 20/20 etc) and not specified.
Testing DistanceThe website does not state a recommended near or distance working distance for use of the rods.
Physical Size & PortabilityThe page gives no dimensions (length, diameter, weight) of the rods in this set.
Mounting / Display FeaturesThere is no description of mount or how the rods are held/used (handheld, in trial frame, stand) on the listing.
Included Accessories / ExtrasThe page states: “includes: Red, Green and White Maddox”.So the set contains three rods (colours red, green, white).
Durability / Material QualitiesNo details on materials of the handles, lens rods (glass/plastic), protection case, or durability under repeated clinical use.
Usability / Marker of QualityThe listing does not mention certifications (ISO, CE) or independent validation of accuracy, nor user reviews. Only the basic listing of contents is present.
