Abstract:
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the serious microvascular diseases caused by diabetes. It is the leading cause of visual impairment among workers over 40 years old in developed countries. At present, western medicine methods for treating diabetic retinopathy include pan-retinal photocoagulation, vitrectomy, and intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor and other methods. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of diabetic retinopathy is mainly to treat patients using oral Chinese herb preparation based on syndrome differentiation and using certain external traditional Chinese medicine methods, such as auricular point therapy. This paper investigates the research progress of diabetic retinopathy treatment with traditional Chinese and western medicine and provides novel ideas for treating diabetic retinopathy with traditional Chinese combined with western medicine.
