Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology and related medical sciences.
  • Focus on the lacrimal system (LS) and its associated diseases.
  • Development of dacryology as a specialized field.

Background:

  • Prior research on the lacrimal system in China was limited.
  • Systematic investigation of dacryology commenced in 1979.
  • Research progressed through literature collection, lab studies, and clinical research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the advancements in dacryology in China.
  • To promote the international growth of dacryology as a discipline.
  • To share comprehensive research on the lacrimal system and its diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and data collection (1979-1981).
  • Laboratory research on tear components and function (1981-1984).
  • Clinical research focusing on dry eye (DE) diagnosis, treatment, and etiology (1984-1995).

Main Results:

  • Established new terminology: dacryology and lacrimology.
  • Characterized normal and abnormal tear/serum parameters, including biochemical markers and immunological factors.
  • Developed diagnostic criteria, grading systems, and treatment protocols for dry eye disease (DE), identifying autoimmune factors and EB virus in Sjögren's syndrome (SS).

Conclusions:

  • The comprehensive research has been widely applied in practice, with over 100 publications.
  • Dacryology, encompassing the lacrimal system and its diseases, is a viable and essential scientific discipline.
  • Further development and recognition of dacryology are strongly supported by the findings.
