The temperature of the vitreous has been reported to vary during cataract and vitreous surgery. We measured intraocular temperature at four intraocular sites; the anterior chamber (AC), just behind the crystalline lens, mid-vitreous, and just anterior to the optic disc (OD) at the beginning of vitrectomy with a thermoprobe in 48 eyes. The temperatures were compared in three groups; eyes that underwent vitrectomy for the first time (Group V, n = 30), eyes that had previous vitrectomy and the vitreous cavity had been filled with balanced salt solution (BSS; Group A, n = 12), and eyes that had previous vitrectomy and the vitreous cavity was filled with silicone oil (Group S, n = 6). There was a gradient in the temperature in all groups, i.e., it was lowest in the AC, and it increased at points closer to the retina. The intraocular temperature was significantly correlated with the type of fluid in the vitreous cavity. The mean intraocular temperatures were not significantly different in Groups V and A, but they were significantly higher in Group S. Clinicians should be aware of the differences in the temperature at the different intraocular sites because the temperatures may affect the physiology of the retina and the recovery process.
