Finite element method is presented to predict temperature distribution in anterior chamber of the eye, in a certain conditions during performing phacoemulsification. In thermal analysis several phacoemulsification conditions are varied such as type of balanced salt solution, viscoelastic fluid, position of phaco needle, phaco power. Temperature distribution solutions of several phacoemulsification conditions are presented. These results are good information to set up an avoidance critical phacoemulsifying situations that may reduce several damages in anterior chamber during and after phacoemulsification. The finite element results demonstrate its capability to predict temperature distribution in anterior chamber of the eye during phacoemulsification.
