Abstract:To investigate the effects of integrated traditional Chinese and Western Medicine on dry eye after cataract surgery.Methods:A total of 60 patients with senile cataract were treated with phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation in our hospital were randomly divided into control group (n=18), artificial tear group (n=21) and comprehensive treatment group (n=21).Patients of 3 groups were treated with conventional drugs of levofloxacin eye drops, diclofenac sodium eye drops and fluorometholone eye drops after cataract surgery.Artificial tear group was treated with sodium hyaluronate eye drops.Comprehensive treatment group was treated with sodium hyaluronate eye drops and self-made dry eye formula (Rhizoma Panacis Majoris 15 g, Fructus Lycii 9 g, Flos Chrysanthemi 9 g, Radix Scrophulariae 9 g, Radix Rehmanniae Recens 9 g, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata 9 g, Rhizoma Dioscoreae 9 g).Subjective dry foreign body, conjunctival fluorescein test, Schirmer test, tear film break-up time before treatment, and 1 week, 1 month, 3 months after treatment were observed.The three groups were compared and analyzed.Results:The comprehensive treatment group and artificial tear group in relieving dry eye after phacoemulsification had good curative effects with significant difference between before and after treatment (P<0.05); The effective rate of the comprehensive treatment group in relieving dry eye symptoms was 85.7% and had advantages compared with artificial tear group (71.4%).The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); Effects were shown 1 week after treatment in artificial tear group, and last till 3 months after treatment.There was significant difference compared with the control group (P<0.05).The differences in improving tear film stability, eye secretion and fluorescein staining of comprehensive treatment group and artificial tear group were statistically significant compared with before treatment (P<0.05); The comprehensive treatment group had better effects than artificial tear group, and there was significant difference (P<0.05).There were no adverse reactions such as allergy, skin rash and gastrointestinal tract diseases in 3 groups.Conclusion:Combined therapy of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine can effectively improve clinical symptoms of dry eye patients after cataract surgery, increase the tear secretion and strengthen tear film stability, which is a safe and effective intervention method.
