Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate treatment trends on hyperopia of chinese traditional medicine. Methods : We searched papers using CNKI and Pubmed. The keyword used on searching was 'Hyperopia' combined with 'Chinese medicine', 'Acupuncture' and 'herbal medicine'. Searching duration was not specified. The search was conducted from January 2020 to July 2021, and the final selected papers were from 1983 to 2014. Results : Studies found in CNKI were 27 and 20 sutdies were excluded. Studies found in Pubmed were 57 and 57 studies were excluded. Finally 7 sutdies were selected and analyzed. Five studies of selected ones were case reports and two were review papers. Among 5 case reports, two of them used herbal medicine with pressing auricular acupoints with beans. Another one used electronic plum acupuncture only. Another one used acupuncture with electronic heat and pulsed current stimulation. The other one compared acupuncture alone and acupuncture combined with massage. All studies report high efficacy rates on treatments. Conclusions : According to this study we found the possibility of acupuncture and herbal medicine on hyperopia. We expect that further studies will be conducted and the results of them could be actively applied to clinical treatments.
