What is the temperature of the Eyeball?

Hello!

I have been set assignment from school. I must know please: what is
the temperature (degrees celcius) of the eyeball?

In round or oval numbers?

Eyes open or closed?

What is interesting about this question is that the surface temperature of
the cornea relates to the dry eyes problem.

http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/art...i?artid=505379

And several (US) patents 5,115,815 and 5,025,785 relate to the detection
of physiological problems by the monitoring of eye temperature.

Interesting.

Dear Zetsu,

The core-temperature of the body is about 98 degrees F.

You can expect that the eye under room conditions
will be very close to that temperature -- with some
"gradient" near the surface.

Best,

Otis

It varies.

Do you mean the "refractive" state or mental state?

FWIW, Doc, this "Zetsu" character has achieved odious troll status on
s.m.v.

THAT alone explains why nobody was interested in being particularly
helpful, AND why the only person who DID respond "reasonably" was the
archetypal s.m.v. troll.

That's 'cause they have their tin foil hats tuned to the same
frequency.

Okay one more question please

What is the melting temperature and freezing temperature of the eye?
