[Paying attention to the expert consensus on dry eye to standardize and promote the clinical diagnosis and treatment of dry eye].

Dry eye is the most common chronic eye disease other than refractive errors. The expert consensus on dry eye has guiding significance in standardizing as well as improving the clinical diagnosis and treatment of dry eye in our country. The development of dry eye consensus needs to be rigorous, while its operability should be the key in clinics. In the routine clinical work, doctors should pay full attention to the guidelines of dry eye consensus, follow the advice in reason, correctly apply new technologies and new methods, and avoid improper applications. On this basis, we also encourage to continue innovations and explorations, which will eventually improve the clinical and research levels of dry eye in China. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2020, 56:726-729).
