Introduction
The aim of the study was to evaluate corneal temperature in patients with dry eye syndrome, and in normal subjects by measuring with infrared radiation thermography. Material and methods Each eye of 9 patients with dry eye syndrome and each eye of 13 normal subjects, were evaluated in this study. The corneal surface temperature was measured during 15 seconds after opening the eye. Results Mean corneal temperature was lower in the dry eye syndrome patients compared with the control group. Decrease in time of mean corneal temperature in patients with dry eye syndrome, was lesser than in the control group. Conclusions The study shows the usefulness of thermography in the diagnosis of dry eye syndrome. keywords:
