Zhenzhu (Pearl, 3 qian) Hupo (Amber, 3 qian) Shuijing (Rock Crystal, 3 qian) Longchi (Dragon's Teeth, 1 qian) Shijueming (Haliotidis Shell, 3 qian) Xiongdan (Ursi Bile, 3 qian) Longnao (Borneolum Syntheticum, add 5 fen when in use)

Crush the above herbs and grind them into a fine powder. Add five sheng of water, decoct in a clay pot until one sheng remains, filter out the dregs, then boil in a silver pot to reduce to one zhan. Add five qian of pure white honey and mix to form an ointment. Instill into the eyes every night before sleep; do not instill in the morning.

A celestial prescription from Mount Wudang, revealing heavenly secrets carries heavy consequences. Radix Crotonis Tiglii (Badou) and Semen Pruni Armeniacae Laevigatae (Ruiren) are processed together with prepared Lithium Carbonate (Zhishi), along with Cinnabaris (Shasha), Os Draconis (Longgu), and Streblus Asper Fruit (Baodingxiang). Regardless of how old the corneal opacity or membrane obstruction is, one application guarantees restored vision.

Prepared Lithium Carbonate (Zhishi, 2 qian) Radix Crotonis Tiglii (Badou, 1 qian, husked) Semen Pruni Armeniacae Laevigatae (Ruiren, 1 qian). Decoct these two herbs in water, strain the residue, and pour the liquid into the Zhishi. Wait for it to dry into a sandy texture. Take one river snail, wash it for two days, clean the mud, and open the shell. Place three to four fen of this "sand" inside the snail. Wait for it to liquefy. Decoct Os Draconis (Longgu, calcined and ground to an extremely fine powder, 2 fen) and Streblus Asper Fruit (Baodingxiang, select those pointed at both ends, harvested on Dragon Boat Festival, soaked overnight in Licorice Decoction, dried, ground finely, and stored; add a small amount when instilling onto corneal opacities or pterygium).

Treat redness, swelling, and corneal opacities.

Take one earthworm, selecting a robust and white specimen. Tie a thread around its head and tail, wash it thoroughly in running long-flowing water. Break the tip of a porcelain bowl to drip the white exudate into the prepared Lithium Carbonate (Zhishi). Instilling this into the eyes is also effective.

To remove pterygium (Gourou), use one hundred Almond kernels (Xingren), crush them to extract the juice, mix with the aforementioned "sand" for instillation. Alternatively, Streblus Asper Fruit (Baodingxiang) may be used.

Treat corneal opacities.

Use as much light bamboo shell (Danzhuke) as needed. Wipe off the hairs with cloth, burn to ash while preserving its medicinal properties (Cunxing). For every one qian of medicine, add three to five li of Moschus (Shexiang), grind together into a fine powder, and apply to the opacity. This is also excellent.

When treating external eye disorders, absolutely avoid using knives, needles, hooks, or cutting instruments, as this may damage the blood vessels of the eye, leading to chronic incurable diseases later. The classics state: "The eyes see only when nourished by blood," so how can the blood be damaged? Simply use formulas such as Jin Ye Tang or Yu Hua Wan, and self-healing will occur.

Additionally, if a foreign filament enters the eye, hold a grain of salt in the mouth to dissolve; the filament will naturally exit. Or, place one seed of Artemisia Capillaris (Xiangcaozi) into the eye; as the seed moves within the eye, it will push the filament out, resulting in self-healing.

Additionally, for facial paralysis characterized by deviation of the mouth and eye, administer several doses of wind-dispelling herbs. Once the pulse becomes balanced, administer warming and tonifying herbs. Externally, apply ground White Peony Root (Baijiu) mixed with loach blood to the unaffected side of the face. The appearance will immediately return to symmetry.
