Abstract
With the aging of population, the changing of lifestyle and the increasing number of ophthalmic emergency patients, Chinese national policies related to ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment are continually promoted, and residents' health awareness are gradually improved, the volume of ophthalmic outpatients and emergency patients continues to increase. It is urgent needed to establish scientific ophthalmic emergency pre-examination and triage criteria, to reasonably allocate medical resources, and to ensure that patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. The relatively mature ophthalmic emergency pre-examination and triage models with the severity of patients' symptoms or physical signs, have been established in foreign hospitals. Currently, there is no unified and authoritative ophthalmic emergency triage criteria in China. The accuracy and clinical applicability of the existing ophthalmic emergency triage models at home and abroad need to be further explored. This article reviewed the ophthalmic emergency triage criteria and application evaluation at home and abroad, and remote emergency triage in ophthalmology, in order to provide a reference for establishing a scientific and effective ophthalmic emergency triage criteria comformed Chinese national conditions, and improving the quality of ophthalmic emergency triage.
