Abstract: In recent years, the incidence of various infectious diseases in our country is high, among which chronic infections of hepatitis C virus and human immunodeficiency virus are related to dry eye. With the development of treatments for hepatitis C and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), the prolonged life span of patients has increased the demands for the quality of life of patients. Ocular surface diseases such as dry eye, which were easily covered by blinding vitreoretinal diseases in the past, should also attract the attention of ophthalmologists and infectious disease physicians to provide standardized diagnosis and treatment for dry eye patients with infectious diseases.
