The invention provides a construction method of a rat xerophthalmia model, which utilizes scopolamine hydrobromide and 1% atropine sulfate ophthalmic gel to jointly induce xerophthalmia so as to induce comprehensive symptoms of rat xerophthalmia. After scopolamine hydrobromide is subcutaneously injected into a rat and atropine ophthalmic gel is dropwise added to eyes of the rat, difference appears in tear secretion, tear film rupture time and cornea staining detection from the second week, the symptom stability can last for more than one month, and obvious difference also exists in pathological examination of an anatomical end point and a TUNEL test.
