Research Progress on the Treatment of Uveitis with Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine

Abstract

Uveitis is a clinically prevalent, blindness-causing ocular disorder characterized by recurrent episodes and progressive deterioration, often leading to severe visual impairment. Over the past three decades, while Western pharmacological and surgical interventions have achieved substantial breakthroughs in refractory uveitis management, traditional Chinese herbal decoctions and acupuncture demonstrate distinct advantages in therapeutic efficacy [1-3]. This review synthesizes recent advances in integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine for uveitis, providing critical insights for enhancing clinical outcomes and guiding future research directions.
