暴露性角膜炎是角膜失去眼睑保护而暴露在空气中，引起角膜干燥、上皮细胞脱落进而继发感染的角膜炎症，多见于眼睑缺损、眼球突出、睑外翻、面神经麻痹、手术麻醉等。泪液的缺失、眼睑闭合不全、眼表暴露等因素皆会影响角膜健康，使其处于炎症、溃疡及穿孔的危险中。暴露性角膜炎治疗目的是去除暴露因素、保护角膜上皮和维持眼表湿润，目前常用的治疗手段有手术治疗与药物治疗，有些是暂时性的，有些是永久性的。

Exposure keratitis is an inflammation of the cornea that occurs when the cornea loses the protection of the eyelid and is exposed to air, resulting in dryness, epithelial exfoliation, and secondary infection. Most of them are found in eyelid defect, protopsis, eyelid ectropion, facial palsy, and anesthesia. Loss of tears, lagophthalmos and exposed ocular surface all affect the health of the cornea, putting it at risk of inflammation, ulceration, and perforation. The purpose of treatment is to remove exposure factors, protect the corneal epithelium and keep ocular surface moist.Currently, the commonly used treatments are surgical treatment and medical treatment, and some of them are temporary while others are permanent.
