Abstract
The status of drug usage for patients is important for the research about clinical application. This paper analyzes the drug usage in an eye hospital. Two approaches are adopted for the analysis procedure. There are statistics and complex theory. Four networks for different kinds of drugs are built first. Then degree property of these networks is used. Finally, the comparison between the two methods is conducted. The comparison results show node degree of drug network can reflect the drug using frequency well.

The study of complex networks is a young and active area of scientific research [1]
The analysis showed the pharmaceutical systems in the eight countries were, to varying degrees, characterized by a lack of funding, resulting in high and growing shares of private financing, inefficiencies in the selection of medicines into reimbursement and limitations in medicines availability [6]
