Dry eye is a common eye disease, and its incidence rate has been escalating. The increased tear osmolarity is one of the main reasons for complaint, damage and inflammation of dry eye patients. With the breakthrough of testing technology for tear osmolarity, more research and application of tear osmolarity was reported, and papers on tear osmolarity of normal eye and dry eye in different regions were also published. In this article, the progress of the tear osmolarity research, the range of tear osmolarity and its application in diagnosis and therapy of dry eye was introduced, and the prospect for the clinical application of hypotonic artificial tears was also discussed.
干眼症是一种常见的眼科疾病，其发病率一直在上升。泪液渗透压升高是干眼症患者出现不适、损伤和炎症的主要原因之一。随着泪液渗透压检测技术的突破，有关泪液渗透压的研究和应用报道增多，不同地区正常眼和干眼的泪液渗透压相关论文也相继发表。本文介绍了泪液渗透压的研究进展、泪液渗透压范围及其在干眼症诊断和治疗中的应用，并探讨了低渗人工泪液的临床应用前景。
