Infrared thermography was employed to measure the change in ocular surface temperature on eye opening within agroup of 11 dry-eye patients and seven control subjects. Qualitatively, the colour coded thermograms were found to be disorganised and irregular in the dry-eye group. Quantitatively, the decrease in temperature was found to be much more rapid in the dry-eye group (0.88 ± 0.23°C in 7s) compared with the control group (0.21 ± 0.27°C) (P<0.0001). This faster rate of cooling can be explained in terms of a greater evaporation rate and the increased ocular surface temperature on eye opening in a dry eye. This observation, if confirmed on a larger study group, potentially offers a new, objective, non-invasive system for analysis of the tear-film and dry-eye therapies.
