论曰昼而明视,暮不睹物,名曰雀目。言如鸟雀不能有见于夜也。夫卫气昼行于阳,夜
行于阴,阴血受邪,肝气不能上荣于目,肝受血而能视,今邪在于肝,阴血涩滞,至暮则甚
,故遇夜目睛昏,不能睹物,世谓之雀目。

Discourse states: Clear vision during the day but inability to see at night is called "Sparrow Eye" (Que Mu). It means being unable to see objects at night, like a sparrow. Wei Qi (Defensive Qi) circulates in the Yang meridians during the day and in the Yin meridians at night. If Yin Blood is invaded by pathogenic factors, Liver Qi cannot ascend to nourish the eyes. The Liver relies on blood to enable vision. Now, with pathogens stagnating in the Liver, Yin Blood becomes sluggish and obstructed. Symptoms worsen towards evening; thus, at night, the eyes become dim and unable to see objects. This condition is commonly known as Sparrow Eye.
