After treatment for 14d, the Schirmer Ⅰ test(SⅠt), break-up time(BUT), cornea fluorescein staining(FL)and clinical efficacy of two groups were compared. <p>RESULTS: The efficiency rate of observation group was significantly better than the control group(87.8% <i>vs</i> 70.7%, <i>P</i><0.5). The SⅠt and BUT in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(8.43±2.51mm/5min <i>vs</i> 6.38±2.52mm/5min, <i>P</i><0.05; 8.60±2.47s <i>vs</i> 6.35±2.29s, <i>P</i><0.05); the FL in the observation group(0.84±0.75 <i>vs</i> 1.26±0.84, <i>P</i><0.05)significantly lower than those in the control group. <p>CONCLUSION: The fumigation treatment of traditional Chinese medicine(Four Yellow Qing Ling Water)combined with artificial tears for dry eyes can improve the clinical symptoms of dry eye syndrome. |
