[Concerns on the diagnosis and treatment of corneal epitheliopathy].

Corneal epitheliopathy is a commonly seen disease in the clinical work. However, due to its complicated causes, there remain misdiagnosis and mistreatment, which would aggravate epithelial keratopathy and induce corneal scars, eventually leading to irreversible visual impairment. In this article, the primary and secondary causes of corneal epithelial lesions are described in detail. The classification, diagnosis and treatment principles of the disease are also presented to arouse more concern about corneal epitheliopathy. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2017, 53: 161-163).在临床工作中角膜上皮病变十分常见，但由于引起角膜上皮病变的原因很多，故其易被误诊、误治，导致上皮病变加重，角膜瘢痕形成，最终造成不可逆性视力损伤。正确区分可能引起角膜上皮病变的先天性和继发性病因，全面掌握角膜上皮病变的病程分级、诊断和治疗原则，充分重视角膜上皮病变的诊断和治疗，才能避免出现不良后果，提高临床工作水平。（中华眼科杂志，2017，53：161-163）.
