Treatment of Macular Edema based on Striae and Interstices Theory
Striae and interstices is a widely distributed channel in the interstitial spaces and textures of various tissues of the human body where
qi
, blood and fluids run through. When the metabolism of
qi
, blood and fluids is disordered, the macular edema may be generated. By linking the striae and interstices theory with the ocular physiology and pathology, and considering the clinical experience in the treatment of macular edema, this paper explored the pathogenesis and treatment idea of macular edema from the theory of striae and interstices. It is put forward that looseness of striae and interstices causing fluids retention, as well as stasis and stagnation of striae and interstices leading to
qi
constraint and blood stasis are the core links in the pathogenesis of macular edema. Therefore, it is proposed that the treatment should focus on both consolidation and movement of the striae and interstices, by using
qi
-supplementing and spleen-fortifying formulas and
qi
-moving, blood-invigorating and urination promoting method, respectively. The close connection of physiology and pathology of striae and interstices with the pathogenesis of macular edema could provide new ideas for clinical diagnosis and treatment of macular edema.
