Intraocular Temperature Distribution in Eyes Undergoing Different Types of Surgical Procedures during Vitreous Surgery

Vitreous temperature has been reported to vary during intraocular surgery. We measured the temperature at three intraocular sites, just posterior to the crystalline lens (BL), mid-vitreous (MV), and just anterior to the optic disc (OD), and investigated temperature changes before and after different...

description Vitreous temperature has been reported to vary during intraocular surgery. We measured the temperature at three intraocular sites, just posterior to the crystalline lens (BL), mid-vitreous (MV), and just anterior to the optic disc (OD), and investigated temperature changes before and after different types of surgical procedures in 78 eyes. The mean temperature at the beginning was 30.1 ± 1.70 °C in the anterior chamber, 32.4 ± 1.41 °C at the BL, 33.8 ± 0.95 °C at the MV, and 34.7 ± 0.95 °C at the OD. It was lowest at the BL, and highest at the OD. The mean temperature after cataract surgery was slightly lower especially at an anterior location. Thus, the temperature gradient became slightly flatter. The mean temperature after core vitrectomy was even lower at all sites and a gradient of the temperature was not present. The mean temperature after membrane peeling was significantly higher than that after core vitrectomy, and there was no gradient. The mean temperature after fluid/air exchange was lower at the BL and higher at the MV and at the OD. Thus, a gradient of higher temperatures at the OD appeared. The intraocular temperature distribution is different depending on the surgical procedure which can then change the temperature gradient. The temperature changes at the different intraocular sites and the gradients should be further investigated because they may affect the physiology of the retina and the recovery process.
