Abstract:Fundus macular edema can be caused by various eye diseases, it could result in central vision loss and visual distortion. At present, Western medicine treatment is not satisfactory, however Chinese medicine shows unique advantages. This paper discusses the pathogenesis and treatment of fundus macular edema by Chinese medicine from the viewpoint of “three yin-meridian obstruction can lead to water disease” in Huangdi Neijing. The auther thinks that chill obstruction in hand taiyin lung, foot taiyin spleen or foot shaoyin kidney meridian could lead to fundus macular edema, so the treatment is first to recognize the organ which is lack of vital energy, then to tonify them, and at the same time, to eliminate damp by freeing lung-qi, activating spleen, promoting diuresis and activating blood circulation. To cure both the symptoms and root causes is effective.
