Abstract:
The number of patients suffering from both dry eye and mental disorders (especially anxiety and depression) has risen rapidly in ophthalmic clinics. However, the mental disorders related dry eye has not received enough attention. At present, it lacks related information of basic data, and there is no standard for the clinical diagnosis and treatment. To this end, this article aims to determine the role of mental factors in the pathogenesis of dry eye, to strengthen the relevant basic and clinical research, to standardize its clinical diagnosis and treatment, and thus to promote the prevention and treatment of the mental disorder related dry eye in China.
