In healthy subjects, corneal surface temperature measured by the Ocular Surface Thermographer TG‐1000 (Tomey, Germany) does not change diurnally and is warmer nasally than centrally and temporally during the interblinking interval. This leads to the assumption that diurnal changes of corneal temperature indicate ocular surface abnormality or corneal pathology.
