title: [Ocular fundus disease in China: the current situation, progression, and issues to be resolved].
abstract: Ocular fundus disease is an important cause of blindness in China today. It has been a serious threat to people's health and quality of life. After unremitting efforts of generations, we have made remarkable achievements in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of ocular fundus disease. We have achieved many breakthroughs and progressions in the investigations of diabetic retinopathy, choroidal neovascularization, pediatric fundus disease, and other major diseases. And weare gradually standardizing imaging data management, new drug development procedures, and multi-center clinical trials. In the future, we need to further standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment, to accelerate the basic research of serious and rare diseases, and to improve the overall level in the field of ocular fundus disease in China, so as to enhance our international influence in ophthalmology.
