The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for evaluating the degree of exophthalmos used in an exophthalmos inspection apparatus. The apparatus includes a left displacement platform, a
left eye corner locking point, a left mirror, a camera, a near-
infrared light source, a right eye corner locking point, a right mirror, a right displacement platform, a visible
light beam column, and a housing. The method includes adjusting and fixing the outer corner point of the eye, controlling the near-
infrared light source to sequentially turn on multiple columns of visible
light beam columns, capturing and obtaining a front view video of the eyeball by a camera, and obtaining a video frame when the longest reflected light of the visible
light beam column appears on the eyeball in the mirror from the video; identifying the corneal apex from the video frame and identifying the
pupil center using a neural network; and calculating the degree of exophthalmos based on a known position, a mirror tilt angle, the corneal apex, and the
pupil center.
