Eligibility

Sex/Gender

All

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Normal subjects 2. Dry eye 3. Post-glaucoma surgery 4. Contact lens users 5. Degenerative diseases of the cornea or conjunctiva 6. Infectious or inflammatory ocular diseases 7. Post-laser treatment (especially iridotomy) 8. Post-invasive surgery (cataract, vitreous body, cornea, conjunctiva, glaucoma) 9. Chronic glaucoma

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: This thermography device is non-invasive, but subjects who feel stress as a result of the Ocular Surface Thermography examination, or those who experience an allergic reaction or foreign body sensation during eye drop instillation will be excluded from the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Collection of data from normal subjects 2. Temperature changes due to dry eye 3. Changes in the surface temperature of filtering blebs after surgical treatment for glaucoma (trabeculectomy) 4. Temperature changes influenced by insertion, removal or changes in contact lenses 5. Temperature changes in degenerative disorders of the cornea or conjunctiva 6. Temperature changes in infectious or inflammatory ocular diseases 7. Temperature changes after laser treatments (especially iridotomy) 8. Temperature changes after invasive surgery (cataract, vitreous body, cornea, conjunctiva, glaucoma) 9. Temperature changes in chronic glaucoma Ocular surface temperature will be measured and recorded, and values will be calculated for various regions of the cornea and conjunctiva (temporal, nasal, superior, inferior) and ocular lesions. Values for outcomes 1-9 will be analyzed to determine whether they can be used for diagnosis of ocular diseases, and whether they reflect the severity of pathology or degree of recovery.	—
