To compare ocular surface temperature (OST) measures in patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and healthy controls.
A total of 51 consecutive patients with different severity degrees of NPDR and 53 age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers were recruited. OST was evaluated by infrared thermography in five conjunctival (points 1, 2, 4, 5) and corneal (point 3) points.
In diabetic eyes, OST values were lower than in controls at all the studied points (p<0.001 at points 1, 2, 3, 4, and p=0.003 at point 5).
Ocular surface temperature measurements, by estimating ocular blood flow, may be helpful in the management of patients with diabetic retinopathy.
比较非增殖性糖尿病视网膜病变（NPDR）患者与健康对照者的眼表温度（OST）测量值。
连续招募了51例不同严重程度的NPDR患者和53例年龄及性别匹配的健康志愿者。通过红外热成像技术在五个结膜点（1、2、4、5点）和角膜点（3点）评估OST。
在糖尿病眼中，所有研究点的OST值均低于对照组（1、2、3、4点p<0.001，5点p=0.003）。
通过估计眼血流量进行眼表温度测量，可能有助于糖尿病视网膜病变患者的管理。
