[Rational use of topical drugs to avoid drug-induced ocular surface injury]

Drug-induced ocular surface injury often occurs in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases. Because of concealed clinical manifestations, it is difficult to be distinguished, causing misdiagnosis and mistreatment, and leading to serious corneal and conjunctival damage, and even visual disfunction. In this article, we focus on the mechanism, active prevention and effective treatment of drug-induced ocular surface injury, and propose that the rational use of local eye drugs can effectively reduce or avoid drug-induced ocular surface injury and improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases.
