Objective: To explore the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine and argon laser in the treatment of diabetic retionopathy (DR) Ⅲ

Ⅳ

Ⅴ stage. Method: Forty-six patients with DR Ⅲ

Ⅳ

Ⅴstage were divided into 2 groups

both 2 groups suffered from photocoagulation treatment

in process of treatment

the dosage was adjusted at any time with the minimum output power reaching Ⅱ grade of spot was advisable.The treatment group received combined treatment of traditional Chinese medicine and argon laser

for follow up period of 6-12 months

to observe the change of two group after treatment

vision

eyeground and fundus fluorescence angiography after treatment. Result: For two groups patients vision was improved

retinal microaneurysm

hemorrhage and exudation area were markedly reduced

but treatment group was better than control group

fundus fluorescence angiography in treatment group was obviously improved than befor therapy

and better than control group. Conclusion: Traditional Chinese medicine and argon laser seems to be more effective in treatment of DR Ⅲ

Ⅳ

Ⅴstage by improving retinal microcirculation

increasing metabolize

and promoting the absorb of hemorrhage and effusion as supplement of argon laser.
