Purpose:
To compare ocular surface temperature (OST) measures in patients with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and controls.
Methods:
Thirty-six patients with unilateral CRVO and 54 healthy volunteers were included in the study. OST was evaluated by infrared thermography.
Results:
In CRVO eyes and in fellow, nonaffected eyes, OST values were lower than in controls (p<0.05). Ischemic CRVO eyes showed lower temperatures than nonischemic ones.
Conclusions:
Infrared thermography may be helpful in the management of patients with CRVO.
