PURPOSE

To determine the thermographic parameters of ocular surface tissues in various types of anti-glaucoma operations.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The study included 70 patients with glaucoma (140 eyes) and 28 patients (56 eyes) with cataract and planned phacoemulsification. All patients underwent dynamic infrared thermography of the eye surface to evaluate the aseptic inflammatory response before and after surgery.

RESULTS

The increase in the temperature of the ocular surface tissues was longer after penetrating glaucoma surgery than after the non-penetrating type, which indicates a more prolonged inflammatory aseptic reaction in response to surgical intervention.

CONCLUSION

The obtained results allow the development of a rational tactic of preoperative drug preparation and more effective postoperative management.
