[Expert consensus on the clinical diagnosis and treatment of eye burns in China (2021)].

Eye burns, which are usually caused by chemicals such as acidic, alkaline and heat-related substances, are true medical emergencies. These substances can lead to potential permanent damage to the eyelids, cornea, ocular surface and intraocular tissues. In severe cases, eye burns may result in blindness. Currently, there is a lack of uniform and standardized guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of eye burns. As a result, a considerable number of patients have a poor prognosis. Therefore, the Cornea Group of Chinese Ophthalmological Society has developed this consensus statement after thorough discussions, hoping to provide guiding opinions on the clinical diagnosis and treatment of eye burns. 眼烧伤主要包括化学烧伤和热烧伤，通常由酸性、碱性等化学物质或热源物质等接触角膜、眼表、眼睑以及周围皮肤等造成，是临床常见的眼科急症。烧伤物质可对眼睑、眼表、角膜及眼内组织造成潜在的永久性损伤，甚至导致失明。目前临床对于眼烧伤缺乏规范统一的诊疗方法和标准，导致相当一部分患者预后不良。为此中华医学会眼科学分会角膜病学组经过充分讨论，制定本共识，以期为眼烧伤的临床诊疗工作提供指导性意见。
