Summary
Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) is an eye disease that causes optic nerve damage, visual
field defect, and blindness caused by increased intraocular pressure. In recent years, many
studies have shown that ginkgo biloba extract has a protective effect on the visual function
of glaucoma patients. Studies have shown that Ginkgo biloba capsules can improve the visual
field damage of glaucoma controlled by intraocular pressure;Ginkgo biloba capsule can promote
the recovery of visual evoked potential of glaucoma controlled by intraocular pressure; the
improvement of visual field has a certain correlation with visual electrophysiological
recovery. The mechanism may be achieved by suppressing the influx of calcium ions and thereby
inhibiting the apoptosis of cells. Therefore, in this clinical study, effect of Ginkgo biloba
capsule on visual function of primary open-angle glaucoma with blood stasis syndrome was
evaluated by placebo as control.
