Abnormal body temperature is a natural indicator of illness. Infrared thermography (IRT) is a
fast, passive, non-contact and non-invasive alternative to conventional clinical thermometers …

The lipid layer is an essential component of the tear film, providing a smooth optical surface
for the cornea and retarding evaporation from the eye. The meibomian lipids which compose …

The tear film lipid layer is the major barrier to evaporation from the ocular surface. A
decrease in its thickness or functional integrity may cause evaporative dry eye (EDE) …

The aim of the subcommittee report was to review published evidence describing tear film
changes secondary to contact lens wear and to examine the evidence for associations …

Body temperature is a good indicator of human health. Thermal imaging system
(thermography) is a non-invasive imaging procedure used to record the thermal patterns …

Purpose. Warm-compress therapy applied to the skin of the closed eyelids has been
recommended as a treatment for meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Previous studies …

Purpose. To review the evolution in ocular temperature measurement during the last century
and examine the advantages and applications of the latest noncontact techniques. The …

Purpose To determine whether the more rapid cooling of the tear film in dry eyes is related to
other tear film parameters, a battery of tear physiology tests was performed on dry eye …

Purpose.: Instability of the tear film with rapid tear break-up time is a common feature of
aqueous-deficient and evaporative dry eye diseases, suggesting that there may be a shared …

The aim of the study was to develop a mucoadhesive ocular insert for the controlled delivery
of ophthalmic drugs and to evaluate its efficacy in vivo. The inserts tested were based either …
