Pay attention to development of ophthalmic plastics and orbital diseases in China

Abstract

Ophthalmic plastics and orbital diseases have developed rapidly as a young branch of ophthalmology in recent years. The current situation and development of ophthalmic aesthetics, plastics and orbital surgery are discussed in this paper. The functional reconstruction and appearance rehabilitation are both important to the ophthalmic plastic surgery. Although the ophthalmic plastics and orbital surgery started late in China, it developmented rapidly. The development of this branch is based on innovative research, active interdisciplinary, medical-engineering cooperation and academic exchange. However, there are still some problems about ophthalmic plastics and orbital surgery in China. To promote the development of ophthalmic plastic and orbital surgery, we should regulate the training of ophthalmic plastic surgeons, and pay attention to the clinical translational research.
