Objective To analyze the effect of acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine fumigation on patients with dry eye. Methods A total of 76 patients with dry eye were included in this study, and the selected time range was from January 2022 to January 2023. The patients were divided into reference group and experimental group by random number table method, with 38 cases in each group. The reference group received conventional drug treatment, and the experimental group received acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine fumigation treatment on the basis of the above. The therapeutic effect of the two groups was evaluated and compared. Results The effective rate of treatment in the experimental group was higher than that in the reference group (P < 0.05). Corneal fluorescein staining score comparison showed that the experimental group was lower than the reference group after treatment (P < 0.05). BUT time comparison showed that the experimental group was longer than the reference group after treatment (P < 0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine fumigation during the treatment of patients with dry eye has an obvious effect, which can promote the treatment effect of patients and improve the symptoms of dry eye. This treatment method can be popularized in clinic.
