[Chinese expert consensus on dry eye: lifestyle-related dry eye (2022)].

Epidemiological studies have confirmed that the incidence of dry eye is closely related to lifestyles. The Expert Consensus on Dry Eye in China: Definition and Classification (2020) incorporated lifestyle-related factors into the classification of causes and risk factors for dry eye. In order to improve the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of this type of dry eye, the experts from the Chinese Branch of the Asian Dry eye Society and other scientific organizations have formed a consensus on the definition, classification, incidence, epidemiology, pathological mechanism, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of lifestyle-related dry eye. This consensus can be used as a reference for clinical work.
