Abstract: Objective To observe clinical effect of treating glaucoma with compound trabeeuleetomy combined with activating blood circulation and promoting diuresis Chinese medicine. Methods 42 cases with glaucoma were randomly divided into two groups by means of random number table. The control group was treated with compound trabeculeetomy, and the treatment group was treated with Chinese medicine after compound trabeeuleetomy. The regular reexamination was performed, and follow-up visit was executed for an average of 12 months. Results Compared with the control group, the postoperative vision in the treatment group increased significantly (λ2=4.511, P<0.05) , and intraocular pressure decreased significantly (λ2=3.638,P< 0.05); The rate of anterior chamber in the treatment group was lower than that of the control group(λ2=4.256 P< 0.05) . Both groups had filtering bleb, and the rate of non-functional filter blebs in the treatment group was lower than that of the control group (λ2=3.054, P< 0.05 ) . Conclusion The therapy of compound trabeculectomy combined with Chinese medicine on glaucoma was better than compound trabeculeetomy only.
