Certain ocular conditions result from the non-physiological presence of intraocular particles, leading to visual impairment and potential long-term damage. This happens when the normally clear aqueous humor becomes less transparent, thus blocking the visual axis and by intraocular pressure elevation due to blockage of the trabecular meshwork, as seen in secondary open-angle glaucoma (SOAG). Some of these "particle-related pathologies" acquire ocular conditions like pigment dispersion syndrome, pseodoexfoliation and uveitis.

- - Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) causes both ischemia and inflammation, which can influence tissue temperature differently, prompting a study on its impact on ocular surface temperature (OST).
- - The study involved 30 RVO patients and 148 healthy controls, using thermal imaging to measure temperature at specific eye areas, revealing that RVO eyes had higher OST readings, but this difference became statistically insignificant when accounting for confounding factors.
- - The conclusion suggests that RVO might not significantly alter OST due to a balance between inflammation and ischemia effects, and highlights the importance of considering patient and environmental variables in evaluating temperature readings.
