The permeation of social media into life almost goes without bounds and medicine is no exception. While social media holds great potential for physicians and medicine, it also comes with concurrent spread of disinformation. This increases the importance of evidence-based information from qualified physicians on social media.Although the definition of social media is broad, in general, it refers to the use of web-based platforms to connect one human to another. In oculoplastic surgery, these relationships can be physician to physician, physician to patient, patient to patient, and vendor to physician. These relationships mostly involve education, social support, and advertising, but can also include research and government advocacy. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the current utilization of social media in oculoplastic surgery and relevant subspecialties.
社交媒体几乎已经渗透到生活的方方面面，医学也不例外。虽然社交媒体为医生和医学带来了巨大的潜力，但同时也伴随着虚假信息的传播。这增加了社交媒体上来自合格医生的基于证据的信息的重要性。虽然社交媒体的定义很广泛，但一般来说，它是指使用基于网络的平台将一个人与另一个人联系起来。在眼整形手术中，这些关系可以是医生与医生、医生与患者、患者与患者以及供应商与医生之间的关系。这些关系主要涉及教育、社会支持和广告，但也可以包括研究和政府宣传。本综述的目的是评估社交媒体在眼整形手术和相关亚专业中的当前应用。
