Abstract:

As a chronic disease with an increasing incidence, dry eye has seriously affected quality of life. With the appearance of some examination equipment and treatment methods, the level of diagnosis and treatment of dry eye has been continuously improved. However, there are still many problems in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of dry eye, such as focusing on objective signs and ignoring subjective symptoms, blindly believing in equipment results without paying attention to the most basic slit lamp examination, abusing treatment drugs without looking for patients' underlying causes, etc. This paper believes that in the process of dry eye diagnosis and treatment, we should start with subjective symptoms, choose the appropriate examination method and sequence, and according to the patient's type and severity select the befitting treatment plan, in order to reach the goal of standardized treatment of dry eye.

Key words: dry eye, meibomain gland dysfunction, standardization
