Abstract

Immunologic diseases is one of the important causes of dry eye. Dry eye related to immunological diseases, with more severe symptoms and signs and even vision loss, has complicated pathogenesis and is difficult to be diagnosed and treated. Thus, in order to improve the awareness among ophthalmologists, experts from the Chinese Branch of the Asian Dry Eye Society and other related academic organizations have conducted indepth discussions on the dry eye related to immunologic diseases, in terms of its definition, pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment based on the clinical experience and related researches in this field in our country as well as international research progress, to form expert consensus opinions for reference in clinical work. This consensus further standardizes and promotes the diagnosis and treatment of dry eye related to immunologic diseases in China. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2021, 57: 898-907).
