[Focusing on the management of chronic dry eye disease].

Dry eye has become the most common ophthalmic disease besides ametropia. As a chronic ophthalmic disease, dry eye, which in serious cases might even lead to blindness, not only affects the life quality of the patient, but also poses adverse impact on social productivity and work efficiency, and moreover influences the development of society and economy. The incidence of dry eye has been rising in recent years because of the widespread use of video terminals, which poses greater challenges for us. Therefore, we put forward the concept of chronic disease management for dry eye in the hope of drawing extensive attention and planning ahead of time, so as to meet the needs of dry eye patients in China. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2018, 54: 81-83).目前干眼已成为除屈光不正以外临床最常见的眼科疾病。作为一种慢性眼科疾病，干眼不仅影响患者的生活质量，严重者甚至致盲，影响社会生产力和工作效率，进而影响社会经济的发展。近年来由于视频终端的广泛使用，干眼的发病率进一步上升，这使我们面临更大的挑战。为此本文通过阐述干眼的危害及其对社会经济的影响，提出对干眼进行慢性疾病管理的概念和重要性，以期临床给予关注和重视，提前谋划，满足我国干眼患者的需求。（中华眼科杂志，2018，54：81-83）.
