    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Accurate corneal temperature measurement is crucial for diagnosing and managing various ocular conditions.
    • Existing methods for ocular temperature assessment can be invasive or lack precision.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new thermistor probe designed for efficient and accurate corneal temperature measurements.
    • To evaluate the ease of use and comparability of the new probe to established ophthalmic procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a thermistor probe with a temperature-sensing cartridge.
    • Comparison of the probe's shape and application procedure to an electronic tonometer and tonography.

    Main Results:

    • The thermistor probe is designed with a shape similar to an electronic tonometer.
    • Corneal temperature registration using the probe is as straightforward as performing tonography.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed thermistor probe offers a user-friendly and efficient method for corneal thermometry.
    • This device has the potential to simplify temperature assessment in routine ophthalmic examinations.
