Real-World Study (RWS) is originated in the practical clinical trials, which belongs to the category of drug epidemiology. It is non-random, open, no placebo research, and based on the clinical actual situation and the emphasizing the external validity of the research results. The RWS has received a lot of attention and in some field of medicine, disease-specific observational cohort, registry and management database have been well-established. While the RWS in ophthalmology is just starting up. In this article, the background, concepts, methods of RWS and its application in ophthalmology were reviewed.
