Translation:
Article: External eye obstructions (Wai Zhang) are all caused by the Six Qi (Wind, Cold, Summer-heat, Dampness, Dryness, Fire). Internal heat attracts external pathogens, which enter through vulnerabilities and travel along meridians to the head.
Formula:
[Note] [1] This clarifies the etiology of external eye obstructions.
[2] "External obstruction" refers to conditions where external factors obscure the eye. Wind, Cold, Summer-heat, Dampness, Dryness, and Fire constitute the Six Qi.
[3] Diseases of external obstruction are caused by the contraction of the Six Excesses (Liu Yin). However, this must be accompanied by internal heat steaming outward and loose interstices (Cou Li), which attract external pathogens to enter via deficiency. Pathogens entering the neck belong to the Taiyang Meridian; those entering the face belong to the Yangming Meridian; those entering the cheek belong to the Shaoyang Meridian. Each follows its respective meridian connections, ascending to the head and brain, thereby causing pathology in the eyes.
[4] Symptoms include: redness, pain, swelling, dryness/astringency, excessive discharge (Chi), tearing, and nebulae (Yi) obscuring the pupil.
Article: External obstructions may present as sudden redness with blood flooding the pupil, hard eye (Ying Jing), descending red membrane (Chi Chui), and ascending yellow membrane (Huang Chong); crab-eye (Xie Jing), spiral-cone (Xuan Luo), and pterygium (Nu Rou); goose-comb (E Guan) and clam-flesh (Xian Rou) with similar pain; protruding eye (Tu Jing) and leaking eye (Lou Jing) connected to Hu-eye (Gu Yan); curled eyelashes (Dao Jie) meeting adhered eyelids (Bao Ning); red canthi (Zi Chi), depressed white nebula (Hua Xian), and black nail-like nebula (Hei Ding); facial paralysis affecting the eye (Wai Pi), deep ice-flaw nebula (Bing Xia), and adhered eyes (Zhan Jing). Jade nebula (Yu Yi) involving the Water Wheel (Shui Lun - Pupil) growing in reverse or forward directions; wind-millet appearing on eyelids and mixed corneal opacity (Hun Jing); injuries from collision or puncture causing nebulae; stinging pain like needle pricks; itching, tearing, and skin sores (Chuang Yi). Guest-heat (Ke Re), sequelae of Cold Damage (Shang Han), and Liver Heat (Gan Re); nebulae arising after other diseases, phlegm nodules (Tan He), or following Tian Shui Xing (epidemic red eye); blindness (Qing Mang), red rot (Chi Lan), specific sores entering the eye, rolling pivot disorders (Zhuan Guan), eyelid growths (Sheng Zhui), and malnutrition eye disease (Gan Yan). Although strabismus (Tong Jing) in children is minor, squinting (Mi Mu) is even lighter. These constitute forty types (actually forty-eight) of external obstruction syndromes; thorough study reveals the nature of each syndrome.
Formula:
[Note] [1] External obstructions may arise from internal heat, external pathogens, or a combination of both, leading to symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, and nebulae.

[19] "Wai Pi" refers to wind-induced facial deviation affecting the eye.
[20] "Ice-flaw" refers to a deeper superficial nebula.
[21] "Adhered eye" refers to adhesion between upper and lower eyelids.
[22] "Jade nebula" refers to a white nebula floating fully across the cornea.
[23] "Water Wheel" refers to the nebula entering the pupillary region.
[24] "Reverse/Forward" refers to the direction of nebula growth.
[25] "Collision break" refers to rupture caused by blunt trauma.
[26] "Puncture injury" refers to nebula formation after penetrating injury.
[27] "Needle prick" refers to pain sensation like needle pricking.
[28] "Tearing" refers to tearing upon exposure to wind.
[29] "Sores" refers to wind-induced redness and sores on the eyelids.
[30] "Guest-heat" refers to epidemic acute conjunctivitis (Bao Feng Ke Re).
[31] "Cold Damage" refers to eye disease occurring after febrile illness from Cold Damage.

[40] These are the general names for forty-eight types of external obstruction syndromes. If readers study them diligently, they will naturally understand the characteristics of each syndrome based on the disease.
