Abstract
Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a commonly encountered ophthalmological disease, with a relatively high incidence, and expects an effective treatment method. Acupuncture-moxibustion therapy promotes tear production of lacrimal gland without causing a trauma, and thus has a great advantage in treating DES. Through literature analysis, this article summarized the research progress in both clinical practice and mechanism of acupuncture-moxibustion in treating DES during the recent 10 years, for providing valuable references for the application of acupuncture-moxibustion for DES.
