AIM:To observe the effect of huwangmingmusan (HWMMS) on retinal tissue of experimental vitreous hemorrhage.·METHODS:We divided 48 rabbits with experimental vitreous hemorrhage into a normal control group,a modal group,a traditional Chinese medicine group HWMMS and a western medicine group (entodan).With the treatment of medicine,six rabbits of the four groups were killed randomly in the 4th and 8th week and their retinal tissues were sent to light microscopy examination.·RESULTS:It was suggested that the retinal neuroe-pithelium tissue of the HWMMS group has fewer damages than the modal group and the entodan group.·CONCLUSION:We concluded that the HWMMS has a therapeutic effect on retinal damage.
