Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of Modified Wupi Decoction in the treatment of corneal edema after age-related cataract phacoemulsification.Methods A total of 62 patients(62 eyes)with corneal edema after phacoemulsification of age-related cataract admitted to Department of Ophthalmology of the First Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Changde City Affiliated to Hu′nan University of Chinese Medicine from January 2018 October 2020 were selected as the research objects.According to the random number table method,they were divided into the control group and the treatment group,with 31 cases(31 eyes)in each group.The control group was treated with Tobramycin Dexamethasone Eye Drops,Pralofen Eye Drops,Tobramycin Dexamethasone Eye Ointment.On the basis of the control group,the treatment group was treated with Modified WuPi Decoction.The recovery time,central corneal thickness,total effective rate and adverse reactions of corneal edema were compared between the two groups.Results The cure time of corneal edema in the treatment group was shorter than that of control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After 3 days and 7 days,the thickness of central corneal edema in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The total effective rate of the treatment group(96.7%)was higher than that of the control group(80.6%),the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no serious adverse reactions occurred in both groups.Conclusion Modified Wupiyin in the treatment of corneal edema after age-related cataract phacoemulsification can effectively reduce the degree of corneal edema,shorten the recovery time of corneal edema,and has low incidence of adverse reactions,which has a certain promotion value in clinical practice.
