[Statistical quality requires improvement in ophthalmic research].
The improper use of statistical analysis method and inadequate quality of experimental design are common in ophthalmic research. These problems originated from ignoring the importance of statistics or have a bias against the statistics by the researcher. Therefore, the misunderstanding of statistics must be cleared up, it is important for the researcher to familiar with statistical knowledge, instead of simply relying on the cooperation with statistics specialists. Researcher should devote much attention to the study of statistics and enhance the ability to apply it in practice. Statistics is not only one of the supports of evidence-based medicine, but it is also very important in keeping sustainable scientific development of science.
