Demodex infection on ocular surface is a common ocular parasitic disease， which harms patients' physical and mental health and quality of life. Studies show that the incidence of ocular Demodex in diabetic patients is higher than that in normal people, and as the incidence of diabetes increases year by year, the ocular Demodex infection also increases, making it a disease that impairs the normal function of the eye of diabetic patients. However, the mechanism of diabetic ocular surface Demodex infection is still unclear and the treatment method is single and lacking.
