重视整合眼科学的平台建设

Introduction to integration of ophthalmology

眼不是孤立的结构,而是与全身密切关联的感觉器官,因此多种眼病不仅涉及眼组织局部,还涉及到全身多个系统、多个器官。对其诊断治疗需要多个科室的联系,多种手段的联合。当前眼科学不仅与其他各临床科室有脱节,同时本身亚专业过度细化,导致对疾病认识的局限性和眼科医生知识的碎片化,极大地限制了学科的发展。整合医学的理念是现阶段医学发展的创新与革命,本文中笔者从眼科面临的挑战入手,结合、整合医学的方法与观念,总结出"整合眼科学"的概念,并论述了"整合眼科学"对眼科发展的必要性及平台建设的方法。整合眼科学的思维方法是解决当前眼科发展瓶颈的钥匙,希望能通过本文促使医学工作者对整合眼科学的理念产生系统的认识,共同参与完成整合眼科学平台的搭建。

Eye is not an isolated structure, but a sense organ closely associated with the whole body. Most eye diseases are not just local problems of eyes, but also involve many other systems and organs of the body. As a result, accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of an eye disease require a combination of various measures and may involve different clinical departments. Currently, ophthalmology is not only disconnected with other clinical departments, but also associated with unnecessary and excessive specialization and fragmentation which may narrow down doctors＇ views of eye diseases as a whole body and negatively affect the development of ophthalmology. The concept of integrative medicine is an innovation and revolution in medical science. Integrative ophthalmology is the key to solving the current bottleneck of ophthalmology development. This article attempts to discuss the challenges that ophthalmology is currently facing and to bring out the concept of ＂ holistie integrative ophthalmology＂ based on history of integrative medicine. We will also discuss the necessity of holistic integrative ophthalmology in the development of ophthalmology and the methods of creating an integrative ophthalmology platform. It is highly anticipated that this article will lead to a better systematic understanding of the concept of integrative ophthahnology and a more active involvement the integrative ophthalmology platform development among ophthalmologists in China.
