title: [Development of ophthalmic pathology and precision medicine].
abstract: As an indispensable professional, ophthalmic pathology plays an important role in the development of the ophthalmology. With the worldwide attention and promotion of precision medicine and the rapid development of modern medical testing technology, the development of pathology is facing the challenges of survival and development opportunities. We discuss the relationship between the development of pathology and the precision medicine to explain that the precise pathological diagnosis is the basis of the implementation of precision medicine. Ophthalmic pathology workers should be the first to improve the accuracy of the diagnosis of ocular diseases, in order to play a greater role in the future of precision medicine in the diagnosis of pathology.(Chin J Ophthalmol, 2016, 52: 724-727).
