CONSTITUTION: A composition for preventing and treating retinal disorders includes comb slight intoxication extracts or the fractions. The retinal disorder is the age-related macular degeneration or the glaucoma. The retinal disorder is induced by the oxidative stress. The comb slight intoxication extracts is obtained by extracting using water, alcohol of C1- C4, acetone or a mixed solvent thereof. The alcohol is either methanol or ethanol. The fractions are obtained by successively partitioning the Rheum coreanum extract by using N-hexane, methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, normal - butanol and water in order. The health supplement for preventing and treating retinal disorders includes the comb slight intoxication or the fraction thereof as an active ingredient.
