Dry eye is a common ocular surface disease, which seriously affects the work and quality of life of the patients. In recent years, physical therapies for dry eye have developed rapidly. This paper summarizes the traditional physical therapies such as fumigation, atomization, eye massage, hot compress, moisture chamber glasses and so on, and bandage contact lenses and scleral contact lenses, intense pulsed light treatment, Blephasteam wet chamber warming device, LipiFlow heat pulse therapy and other advanced physical treatment methods widely used in recent years.
