The Ethic Reflection on Giving up Treatment in Ophthalmology

Giving up treatment in ophthalmology is common in our country. Financial difficulty is the main reason of abandoning treatment in ophthalmology. We should make every effort to deal with some patients with ocular diseases who had no light perception at all. Misdiagnosis and wrong therapy ought to be avoided as much as possible in our clinical practice. The giving up treatment of retinoblastoma is relatively common in our country at present time and its early diagnosis and early treatment is very important. Therapeutic giving up treatment is a new concept and eye doctors can make use of it in some special situations in that the disease can be treated effectively.
