The paper introduces professor MA Hui-fang's experience in age-related macular degeneration treated with acupuncture at Jingming (BL 1). It is believed that the basic pathogenesis of this disease refers to liver and kidney insufficiency and weakness of spleen qi. Based on the academic ideas of yang qi and meridian-collateral system, the treatment principle is proposed as "invigorating yang qi, replenishing the liver and kidney and nourishing the spleen and stomach". Regarding acupoint selection, Jingming (BL 1) is specially used, combined with the 4 front-mu points (Zhongwan [CV 12], Guanyuan [CV 4] and bilateral Tianshu [ST 25]), as well as the empirical points for eye diseases (Jingming [BL 1], Baihui [GV 20] and Zulinqi [GB 41]). Concerning to needling technique, shuci (transport needling), fenci (intermuscular needling) and yuandaoci (distal needling) are dominated. Eventually, a set of unique therapeutic method has been accumulated through professor MA Hui-fang's clinical practice in treatment of age-related macular degeneration.
介绍马惠芳教授针刺睛明穴为主治疗年龄相关性黄斑变性临床经验。认为本病多以肝肾不足、脾气虚弱为基本病机，基于阳气和经络体系学术观点提出“振阳气，补肝肾，养脾胃”的治疗原则；治疗取穴上重用睛明，配伍腹募四穴（中脘、关元、双侧天枢）与眼病经验组穴（睛明-百会-足临泣），手法上以输刺、分刺、远道刺为主，形成一套独具特色的治疗方法。.
