Infrared thermography of the tear film in dry eye

摘要: Infrared ocular thermograms were recorded for a group of 36 dry eye patients and 27 age- sex-matched controls. Mean surface temperature was greater in the (32.38 +/- 0.69 degrees C) compared with control (31.94 0.54 C; p < 0.01). In addition, there variation temperatures across group, illustrated by difference between limbus centre cornea (0.64 0.20 C 0.41 group; 0.001). This parameter also shown to be who displayed either fast tear break-up time or poor Schirmer's test result. thermography is non-invasive objective technique that may prove useful research tool study film, its deficiencies various treatment modalities.
