Thermoelectric Medical Device for Measuring Heat Flux from Ocular Surface

The paper presents the design and technical characteristics of the newly developed and patented thermoelectric device for measuring heat flux from the ocular surface. The device is promising for the diagnosis and monitoring of ophthalmic diseases, which allows increasing the effectiveness of early diagnosis of pathology of the eye, to observe the dynamics of the pathological process in the eye structures, as well as to increase the effectiveness of treatment of acute and chronic eye diseases. The developed thermoelectric device allows real-time monitoring of both the temperature and thermal state of the ocular surface.
