Abstract
Non-contact infra-red thermography was employed to measure the temperature of the eye and facial skin of a group of 12 patients with postherpetic neuralgia 5 months or more after the onset of ophthalmic shingles. The results indicate that the ocular surface on the affected side was significantly colder than its fellow (mean difference in temperature 1.08 ± 0.83oC). Skin temperature was not significantly different between the two sides. Several mechanisms may be involved in this process, including ocular ischaemia and sympathetic nervous system upregulation.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
