AIM: To explore the effect of SiWuWuZi decoction combined with intravitreal injection of conbercept on patients with wet age-related macular degeneration(ARMD)and its effects on serum vascular endothelial growth factors(VEGF), transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)and inflammatory factors.METHODS: A retrospective study. A total of 60 cases(60 eyes)wet ARMD patients admitted to the ophthalmology department of our hospital from May 2019 to November 2020 were divided into 30 cases(30 eyes)of the control group were treated with intravitreal injection of conbercept, while observation group 30 cases(30 eyes)was added with SiWuWuZi decoction on the basis of treatment for control group. The best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), the neovascular area were not be vanished fundus hemorrhage, exudation, choriocapillario-Bruch's membrane-retinal pigment epithelium complex(CBRC), and retinal neuroepithelial layer(RNL), serum VEGF, TGF-β1, interleukin-6(IL-6)and interleukin-13(IL-13)levels and overall efficacy after 3mo were compared.RESULTS: After 3mo treatment, BCVA, fundus hemorrhage, exudation, CBRC and RNL thickness in 2 groups were improved compared with before treatment(P
