ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of atropine mydriasis, wearing myopia glasses for short or long distance, and massage on preventing and controlling myopia in teenagers and children. Methods A total of 198 myopia cases (involving 393 eyes) were randomized into control group and treatment group. The control group was given eyesight examination after mydriasis with atropine sulfate eye gel and wearing myopia glasses for long distance. The treatment group was given eyesight examination after mydriasis with atropine sulfate eye gel, wearing myopia glasses for short distance, and massage therapy. Eyesight examination was carried out once every 2 months and lasted for one continuous year. The changes of diopter were compared between the two groups. Results ( 1) Of 194 affected eyes from the treatment group, 96 eyes were effective, 68 were stabilized, and the effective rate was 45.5%and stabilizing rate was 35.1%. Of 199 affected eyes from the control group, 3 eyes were effective, 9 were stabilized, and the effective rate was 1.5%and stabilizing rate was 4.5%. The differences of effective and stabilizing rates were significant between the two groups ( P0.05). The difference of diopter was significant between the two groups (P0.05). Conclusion Mydriasis with atropine sulfate eye gel, wearing myopia glasses for short or long distance, and focal massage therapy show certain preventive effect on myopia in teenagers and children by controlling the development of myopia diopter.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】To investigate the therapeutic effect of Chinese herbal medicine combining with the therapeutic instrument of amblyopia for the treatment of amblyopia.【Methods】One hundred amblyopia patients were divided into group A(94 eyes in 50 cases) and group B(95 eyes in 50 cases) by the method of simple randomization.Patients in group B wore appropriate glasses,and covered the eye with a better sight when the sight difference over 2 lines or covered the eyes alternatively when the sight difference below 2 lines.Meanwhile,patients in group B were treated by the curative instrument of amblyopia(micro-lightbrush).Patients in group A were treated with herbal medicine with the actions of strengthening spleen and tonifying kidney,tonifying essence and nourishing blood(Radix Codonopsis,Rhizoma Dioscoreae,Fructus Lycii,Fructus Mori,Semen Cuscutae,Semen Cassiae,Rhizoma Polygonati,Radix Rehmanniae Preparata,Radix Paeoniae Alba,pericarpium Citri Reticulatae,Radix Puerariae) additonally.Fifteen days constituted one treatment course and an interval of 5 days was between two courses.The two groups were treated for one successive year.After treatment,the total therapeutic effect,effect in different age groups and effect in patients with different degrees of amblyopia were compared between the two groups.【Results】In group A,69(73.4%) eyes were cured,21(22.3%) effective and 4(4.3%) ineffective,and 58(61.1%),25(26.3%) and 12(12.6%)in group B,respectively.The total therapeutic effect in group A was superior to that in group B(P0.05),but the effect was superior to that on patients aged 9 years and older in the two groups(P0.05).However,for the patients with severe amblyopia,the effect was better in group A than that in group B(P
