[Capacities of infrared teleradiopyrometry in determining the temperature of a corneal wound during cataract phacoemulsification].
Infrared teleradiopyrometry was used to determine the temperature of a corneal wound by ultrasonic extracapsular phacoemulsification (EP) on 55 eyes of patients with cataract. The data comparable with those of thermocouple measurements were obtained. The investigations showed that infrared teleradiopyrometry was a rather accurate and valid technique for determining the temperature of a corneal cut during EP; to lower thermal exposure of the cornea, it is more efficient to carry out micropulse bimanual phacoemulsification with the ultrasonic power of not more than 40%; if a ultrasonic power more than 50-60 is needed, it is more rational to use a flash mode.
