  3. Terms and Definitions Top

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

3. 1. Age-related macular degeneration

AMD usually occurs in people over 50 years of age, sequential or simultaneous onset of both eyes, with progressive central vision loss, visual deformation and central scotoma as the main symptoms.

Note 1: AMD, also known as senile macular degeneration, is classified into two forms: dry AMD (atrophic AMD or non-neovascular AMD) and wet AMD (exudative AMD or neovascular AMD).

Note 2: AMD falls into the TCM diagnosis categories of “dim vision,” “straight vision as curved” and so on.

  4. Diagnosis Top

4. 1. History

Epidemiological investigation and many studies have found that the incidence of AMD is related to the following factors: age, smoking, long-term chronic light exposure, hypertension, nutritional metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease, and arteriosclerosis, among which age and smoking are the main risk factors.

4. 2. Clinical manifestations

Vision decreases in one eye or both eyes? There may be no symptoms in the early stage of atrophic AMD. The central visual acuity declines with the progress of the disease. In exudative AMD, blurred vision, distortion of vision, central scotoma, and reading difficulties occur in the early stage, and visual acuity decreases markedly with rapid progress. In the late stage, the visual function will be seriously damaged due to macular hemorrhage and scar formation.

4. 3. Examination

4. 3.1. Fundus examination

4.3.1.1. Atrophic age-related macular degeneration or dry age-related macular degeneration

Pigment disorder in the macular area, fovea light reflex weakened or disappeared. At the posterior pole, yellow–white round drusens of different sizes, pigment epithelium proliferation or atrophy are observed, and geographic atrophy with a clear margin presents in the late stage.

4.3.1.2. Exudative age-related macular degeneration or wet age-related macular degeneration

Exudative and grayish-yellow choroidal neovascularization (CNV) lesions present in the fovea or adjacent to the fovea, accompanied by drusen, pigmented plaques, depigmentation, subretinal effusion, hemorrhage, edema, lipid exudation, retinal pigment epithelial detachment (PED), and disciform scar.

4. 3.2. Other examinations

4. 3.2.1. Fundus fluorescein angiography

FFA is applicable to examine patients with visual deformation, unexplained blurred vision or retinal PED, subretinal hemorrhage, hard exudation, etc., In the early stage, high fluorescence appears in the area of drusen and window-like defects in the area of depigmentation. In the late stage, low fluorescence presents due to choroidal capillary atrophy. FFA is helpful to judge whether there is leakage of subretinal neovascularization, and evaluate the area, type, size, and location of CNV.

4.3.2.2. Indocyanine green angiography

ICGA is used to observe choroidal circulation. Exudative AMD can be manifested as hot spots, abnormal large choroidal vessels, high fluorescence, etc.

Serous PED without neovascularization: weak fluorescence in the detachment area.Typical CNV: high fluorescence point or region, brightening and expanding in the late stage, but the margin of the high fluorescence area can still be determinedVascular PED: high fluorescence in the early phase, staining, and leakage in the later phaseScar: similar to FFA, showing irregular high fluorescence, accompanied by blocked fluorescence due to pigment and/or hemorrhage. In the later phase, high fluorescence spot enlarging and scar staining.

4.3.2.3. Optic coherence topography

OCT can determine the degree of subretinal effusion and retinal thickening, providing some additional information of FFA and ICGA. Morphological features of CNV in OCT: localized thickening of the reflective layer corresponding to the retinal pigment epithelium/choroidal capillary, showing fusiform or irregular shape with unclear boundary. Exudation and hemorrhage are characterized by serous and/or hemorrhagic retinal and/or PED. The scar on OCT shows that the light band of retinal pigment epithelium/choroidal capillary layer is thickened with a clear boundary and higher reflection. The retinal tissue above the scar usually becomes atrophic and thin.

4. 4. Differential diagnosis

4. 4.1. Idiopathic choroidal neovascularization

Idiopathic choroidal neovascularization is an isolated lesion occurring in the macular area, presenting with exudative choroidal retinopathy with subretinal neovascularization, which will eventually lead to macular scar formation. Most CEC occurs in young- and middle-aged people, unilaterally. There is no gender difference. The clinical manifestations include decreased visual acuity, visual distortion, or micropia. The gray-white infiltrating lesions may be observed in the deep layer of the macular with the round protuberance, blurred edges, about 1/4 optic disc diameter, around by flaky, curved or circular hemorrhage, subretinal exudate. At later stage, white lipid deposition around the lesion may be observed.

4. 4.2. High myopia macular degeneration (high myopia)

Commonly seen in patients with high myopia or the length of the eye axis is longer than 26 mm. Complaints may include visual loss, visual distortion and sudden visual impairment, or accompanied by flash. Pathological changes such as leopard pattern fundus, posterior scleral staphyloma, lacquer cracks, and CNV may be observed. CNV can cause macular hemorrhage and scar formation, mostly occurring in − 11.00D to − 25.00D.

4. 4.3. Retinal angiomatous proliferation

Patients may complain of visual deformities and decreased vision. The fundus examination shows multifocal pre-retinal hemorrhage or intraretinal hemorrhage, and reddish-brown or gray irregular bands under retinal PED radiating from the optic disc, and macular degeneration caused by CNV may also be observed. Varicose retinal vessels are commonly seen due to the anastomosis of retinal vessels and neovascularization in the retina. This is rare in AMD and is the key point for differential diagnosis. In advanced cases, the obvious proliferative membrane may be observed. ICGA has important diagnostic value. Hyperfluorescent spot, also called “hot spot” is commonly seen in the middle and late stage among 70.6% of RAP patients. In some guidelines and expert consensus retinal angiomatous proliferation is defined as a subtype of wet AMD.

4. 4.4. Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy

Patients with PCV may not have obvious symptoms. If the lesion is in the macular area or nearby, the visual acuity may drop suddenly. Some patients complain of visual distortion. About 30%–60% of the cases present multiple or single orange–red polypoid lesions, deep or preretinal hemorrhage in the fundus, and one or more hemorrhagic or serous retinal pigment epithelium detachment. OCT examination exhibits sharp PED peak, bilayer sign, PED notch, and hyporeflective cavities representing polyps lesion. ICGA is very important for diagnosis. Abnormal branch of the choroid vascular network and aneurysmal bulge can be observed. In some guidelines and expert consensus polypoid choroidal vasculopathy is defined as a subtype of wet AMD.

  5. Syndrome Differentiation Top

5. 1. Spleen deficiency with dampness retention syndrome

The vision is deformed and dark. Macular fovea reflection disappears. Pigmentary disorder, drusen, hemorrhage, exudation, and edema are present in the macular area. Head heavy as if swathed, poor appetite and eating less, loose stool, cold limbs, or there is no obvious combination of syndrome. Light tongue with white or yellow greasy coating, wiry pulse, or soggy pulse.

5. 2. Yin deficiency and effulgent fire syndrome

Vision deformation, rapid declining of visual acuity, large fresh hemorrhage at the macular; dry mouth and thirsty, hot flashes, vexing heat, night sweating and profuse dreaming, sour waist and knees, red tongue with thin coating, rapid pulse.

5. 3. Intermingled phlegm-stasis blood syndrome

Vision deformation and decline, long course of disease, scar formation, and large pigmentation in the fundus; general symptoms of fatigue, anorexia; headache, dizziness, palpitations, limb fatigue, chest distention, and discomfort. Purple tongue or tongue body has ecchymosis, light tongue, thin white fur greasy, wiry, and smooth pulse.

5. 4. Qi-blood deficiency syndrome

Vision distortion and decline, with a long course of disease.examination shows drusen, scar, and large pigmentation. Systemic symptoms include fatigue, torpid intake, tooth-marked tongue with white coating, thread, and weak pulse.

5. 5. Liver and kidney yin deficiency syndrome

Blurred and deformed vision, pigmentation in the macular area, the reflex of central fovea unclear or disappearing, drusen scattered around, and scars and large pigmentation found in the late stage. Systemic symptoms may include dry mouth, limp aching lumbus and knees, fatigue, red tongue with thin coating, thread, and weak pulse.

  6. Treatment Top

6. 1. Therapeutic principles and methods

The main principles of TCM treatment for AMD are tonifying the kidney and invigorating the spleen, cooling the blood and removing blood stasis, and softening hardness and dissipating mass. Atrophic AMD is often characterized by deficiency, deficiency and blood stasis; therefore, treatment should be focused on tonifying deficiency, as well as activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis. For wet AMD, it can be expected to get a better effect to treat with TCM according to syndrome differentiation combined with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment.

Evidence Evaluation and Recommendation Principle

  A.1. Evaluation and Grade Top

The evidence classification principle of this guideline is based on the GRADE, randomized controlled trials were initially designated as high-quality evidence, the quality of which could be reduced by five factors, while observational studies were rated as low-quality evidence, but its quality could be increased by three factors. Finally, the quality of evidence is sorted into high, moderate, low, and very low.

The process of screening and evaluation of the literature is carried out independently by two evaluators. If the views of the two parties are inconsistent, they would resolve through negotiation or adjudication by a third one. See the table below for details:

  A.2 Recommended Principle Top

The fact that most of the studies on the treatment of AMD with TCM are not comprehensive, the design of studies is often less standardized, the selection of formula is diverse, and the efficacy standard is not uniform, which attribute to the outcome bias. Therefore, all the evidence are required to obtain expert consensus before being included into the recommendation.

The general principle of the expert consensus is that if the total number of experts who strongly recommend one treatment exceeds 75%, then it is a strong recommendation. If the number of experts who recommend it is below or equal to 50%, then it is not recommended; other situations are sorted into weak recommendation.
