Jueling Mingmu decoction

Jueling Mingmu decoction is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbal formula used primarily for eye health, particularly in the management of macular cystoid edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion. It is administered as a water-based herbal decoction and often used in combination with standard pharmaceutical treatments such as ranibizumab. The formula consists of multiple herbs traditionally believed to nourish the liver and kidneys, clear heat, dispel wind, and improve vision according to TCM theory. Its mechanism of action from a biomedical perspective is not fully elucidated but may involve anti-inflammatory effects, antioxidative stress reduction, and modulation of cellular senescence pathways relevant to ocular tissue health[1]. Clinical studies are ongoing to evaluate its efficacy and safety when combined with conventional therapies for retinal diseases[1].
