Article Synopsis
- An increasing number of patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are seeking acupuncture treatment, but there hasn't been a systematic review evaluating its effects.
- This meta-analysis reviews the clinical efficacy of acupuncture for AMD by analyzing randomized controlled trials from various databases up to September 2022.
- The study found that acupuncture may improve visual acuity and reduce central macular thickness in AMD patients, although the evidence quality is low to very low, indicating a need for more rigorous research.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of inherited retinal disorders characterized by progressive rod and cone photoreceptor degeneration. Changes in retinal vasculature have long been associated with RP. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a novel imaging technology that enables noninvasive visualization of the retinal and choroidal microvasculature.

Methods: The rats were classified into 4 groups: sham operation (SH), 0.1, 0.
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of different injected Traditional Chinese Medicines in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and to provide a reference for the selection of adjuvant therapy for DR. Related literature in multiple biological databases and websites was searched up to April 15, 2022, without language and publication time restrictions. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was used to analyze the included studies.
