[Correct clinical diagnosis and treatment of dry eye].

Dry eye has become a common disease in ophthalmic clinics. With the continuous development and application of examination and treatment equipment, doctors' understanding of dry eye has improved as well as the diagnosis and treatment level of dry eye. However, there are some problems in the diagnosis and treatment of dry eye so far. Doctors rely too much on equipment to help diagnosis and ignore routine eye examinations with the ophthalmic special examinations prescribed usually being lack of definite purposes. The analysis of results is not scientific. The selection of treatment methods is not careful enough. Therefore, standardized diagnosis and reasonable treatment are the goals that dry eye clinics are required to achieve. During the clinical practice, doctors should attach importance to history taking and the analysis of clinical symptoms, strengthen the basic examination of dry eye, gradually expand the scope of examination and make a reasonable and targeted treatment plan.
