【摘要】
目前西醫對乾眼症的治療多為治標之法,大多數以抗發炎藥物配合抗生素與人工淚液以減緩症狀,但長期下來仍會使患者感到不適,耐受性降低,因此越來越多患者會轉求中醫療法,希望藉以改善生活品質。本病案內容為一名40 歲女性,於110 年4 月在西醫眼科確診乾眼症,接受過淚管填塞手術後以人工淚液持續治療,近日畏光,夜間視力模糊、乾眼情況明顯而來中醫科治療,一個月後效果明顯進步,此有效案例希望提供給中醫同道作為臨床治療的參考。

【Summary】
At present, the treatment of dry eye disease in Western medicine is mostly the temporary method. Most of them use anti-inflammatory drugs combined with antibiotics and artificial tears to alleviate the symptoms, but in the long run it will still make patients feel uncomfortable and reduce their tolerance. Therefore, more and more patients will refer to Chinese medicine, hoping to improve the quality of life. The content of this medical record is a 40-year-old woman who was diagnosed with dry-eyed syndrome in the Department of Ophthalmology in April 2021. She underwent continuous treatment with artificial tears after a temporary punctal occlusion operation. Recently, she suffered from photophobia, blurred vision at night, and dry eyes. After one month of TCM treatment, the efficacy has improved significantly. This effective case is hoped to be provided to the TCM practitioners as a reference for clinical practice.
