Abstract:
Trace elements are a general term for chemical elements that exist in the body in extremely low concentra-tions.They participate in various metabolic activities in the human body and play an important role in maintaining the nor-mal physiological and biochemical functions of eyes.The deficiency or increase of trace elements can cause disorders in the physiological and biochemical functions of eyes,leading to various eye diseases.The currently known trace elements are diverse,including zinc,selenium,cuprum,chromium,iodine,cobalt,molybdenum,ferrum,etc.In recent years,there has been increasing evidence supporting the role of different trace elements in the treatment of eye diseases.Therefore,the International Associations of Ophthalmology and the Ophthalmic Imaging and Intelligent Medicine Branch of Chinese Medi-cine Education Association and the Ophthalmology Comumittee of International Association of Intelligent Medicine have or-ganized experts to summarize the current application status of trace elements in eye diseases,aiming to provide practical guidelines for clinical doctors to identify,evaluate,and treat eye diseases related to trace element deficiency.
