The invention relates to application of a
traditional Chinese medicine composition in preparation of a
medicine for preventing and treating
glaucoma. The
traditional Chinese medicine composition is prepared from the following raw materials: rhizoma acori graminei,
semen cassiae,
herba cistanche, radix puerariae,
semen celosiae, radix
codonopsis, fructus viticis, fructus lycii,
semen plantaginis, radix paeoniae alba, fructus corni, liquorice root, semen cuscutae, rhizoma cimicifugae, nux prinsepiae,
flos chrysanthemi,
flos buddlejae, rhizoma chuanxiong,
wine-processed rhizoma polygonati, radix rehmanniae praeparata, cortex phellodendri chinensis and
radix astragali seu hedysari. Through reasonable compatibility of the components, the
traditional Chinese medicine composition has the advantages of obvious effect and good safety when being used for preventing and treating
glaucoma, especially acute
glaucoma, and the traditional Chinese
medicine composition including the Xiaoyingming tablet can obviously improve the
retina histomorphology, increase the thickness of a reticular layer in the
retina and relieve
retina injury after being used for treating a model mouse; the
survival rate of the
retinal ganglion cells is improved. The result further shows that the traditional Chinese
medicine composition including the Xiaoming tablets has great potential in the aspect of preventing and treating glaucoma.
