Abstract:AIM:To discuss the effects of pranoprofen and sodium hyaluronate eye drops combined with traditional Chinese medicines in the treatments on elderly patients with diabetics and dry eyes, injuring of corneal epithelial after phacoemulsification.
METHODS:Randomly selected 82 elderly patients(108 eyes)with diabetics who were dry eyes and injuring of corneal epithelial after phacoemulsification in our hospital from March 2013 to September 2014. According to the random number methods, 82 cases were divided into experimental group with 45 cases(58 eyes)and control group with 37 cases(50 eyes). The cases in control group were treated with pranoprofen and sodium hyaluronate eye drops, besides those in experimental group were treated with grains of Qi Ming. All cases were respectively detected with Schimer test, Break-up time(BUT), Fluorescein(FL)before and after the treatments.
RESULTS:The Schimer value, BUT(10.17+3.12mm,16.21+4.29s)after the treatments were significantly higher than those(4.91+0.69mm,7.74+2.01s)before the treatments for the cases in experimental group(P<0.05). After the treatments, the Schimer value, BUT(10.17+3.12mm,16.21+4.29s)of the cases in experimental group were significantly higher than those in control group(9.01+2.87mm,16.21+4.29s)(P<0.05). The cure rate of experimental group(55.2%)was significantly higher than that of control group(34.0%), and the total effective rate(100%)of the experimental group was significantly higher than that(96.0%)of the control group(P<0.05).
CONCLUSION:The effects of pranoprofen and sodium hyaluronate eye drops combined with traditional Chinese medicines on elderly patients with diabetics and dry eyes, injuring of corneal epithelial after phacoemulsification are very good.
