Abstract: Objective：To investigate the effect of the traditional Chinese medicine called “Eye-Brighter” on patients with central serous retinopathy (CSR).Methods：102 patients with CSR were randomly divided into two groups: Group A (56 cases) was treated with “Eye-Brighter” and Group B (46 cases) was treated with Western medicine. Visual acuity, retinal appearance and FFA were clinically measured in all the patients.Results：Group A had a much higher cure rate of 96.43% (compared to 82.62% for Group B)(P<0.01) and a shorter period of recovery.Conclusion：The study shows that the traditional Chinese medicine treatment called “Eye-Brighter” can improve the treatment of CSR.
