Raised corneal temperature helps to explain corneal deformation which develops in association with rubbing or massage in conditions such as keratoconus, chalazion, post-trabeculectomy, post-laser assisted in situ keratomileusis, post-graft and dacryocystoceles. | ||

With reference to reports of corneal deformation associated with meibomian gland dysfunction, chalazion, dacryocystoceles and post-trabeculectomy, the mechanisms for increased corneal temperature due to ocular massage, especially when combined with warm compresses are examined. |
