(From *Mifang Jiyuan*)
Eye pain, itching caused by wind-heat, as well as wind-tearing and red eye disease: Take six qian of Mirabilite (Piaoxiao), one zhong of newly drawn well water, decoct until seven parts remain, pour into a porcelain container, wait for it to cool completely before washing the eyes. Wash three to five times daily, slightly open the eyes, allow cold water to enter, and rub five times with the middle finger. If itching is severe, add one or two qian of Alum (Mingfan); soaking and washing is particularly effective. (From *Tongshou*)
Seasonal fire-eye (Shihuo Yan): Take eight slices of grass carp brain, instill into the eyes. (From *Yijing*)
Wind-fire eye: Take Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root), Jingjie (Schizonepeta Herb), Chishao (Red Peony Root), Chuanlian (Coptis Rhizome) each 2 fen; Guiwei (Angelica Sinensis Tail), Danfan (Chalcanthite), Tongqing (Malachite) each 1 fen; Xingren (Apricot Seed) 14 grains (skin and tip removed). Wrap in silk gauze, decoct, and wash the eyes. (From *Zhongfutang Fang*)
Sudden swelling and pain: Soak a piece of blue cloth in water, wash, and let dry. Prepare ginger juice and alum powder. Dip the cloth in the mixture and apply to the eyelids. Close eyes for a moment; tearing will occur and pain will cease. (From *Qiankun Shengyi*)

Red, itchy, and painful eyes: Take two black dates, remove pits, insert a piece of alum, hold with chopsticks, and roast over an oil lamp. Place a cup of cold water underneath to catch droplets. When dates are charred and alum boils, collect drops in the water. After dripping finishes, place the date in a wine cup and leave exposed overnight. Next day, warm the cup in boiling water and wash frequently; it will heal spontaneously. (From *Shen Xinzhai Yanfang*)
Red eyes with nebula (corneal opacity): Crush Goji berries (Gouqizi) to extract juice, instill three to five times daily; highly effective. (From *Zhouhou Fang*)
Red and ulcerated eye sockets (treats both wind and fire): Take 5 fen of Tongqing (Malachite) and 3 fen of Kufan (Calcined Alum), grind into powder. Add one zhong of water, steam over a rice cooker until cooked. Cover with bamboo paper to fumigate the eyes, then wash with clear water to cure. (From *Chengshi Xu Jide Fang*)

Ulcerated eyelids and inverted eyelashes: Roast Qingyan (Green Salt), cover with a bowl placed on the ground to dissipate heat, grind finely. Use 5 fen per dose, steep in half a cup of hot tea, and wash eyes with the warm liquid. (From *Caoshi Jingyan Fang*)
Swelling and redness: The affected eye is swollen, red, and painfully clustered, indicating accumulation of Liver Fire. Only use freshly collected hot child's urine (Tongbian), stored in a bowl. While keeping eyes open, rinse with the hot urine. Although there may be slight stinging pain initially, healing is rapid. For severe cases, wash two or three times for spontaneous recovery. One's own urine can also be used, but avoid consuming scallions, garlic, leeks, wild onions, and burning wine that causes yellow-red urine. (From *Chuanjia Bao*)
Sand or foreign bodies entering the eye: Whenever flying sand, dust, or insects enter the eye causing severe pain and inability to open, take one bowl of clean water. Insert a bamboo tube into the water bowl and blow continuously through the other end; the sand/foreign body will be expelled naturally. Alternatively, have a person with good vision gently pull the eye open and wipe away the foreign body with a cotton pad. (Same source)

Presbyopia (old age blurriness) and removal of nebula: Borax (Pengsha) 2 qian, Water Chestnut Flour (Qiqifen) 4 qian, Chuanlian (Coptis Rhizome) 1 qian (processed with ginger), plus Bingpian (Borneol) 1 fen, Shexiang (Musk) 2 fen. Grind into extremely fine powder, store in a porcelain bottle to prevent leakage. Moisten medicine with clear water, weigh a tiny amount with a balance scale to instill, or use a rush pith stick for better results without damaging the eye. For seasonal eye disease or fire-eye, first administer one or two doses of dispersing herbs, then instill. (From *Cunrentang Mi*)
Star-like spots in the eye persisting for a long time: Decoct Bajieli (Tribulus Fruit) 2 qian in water, wash eyes three times daily; heals in three days. (From *Shengsheng Bian*)

Stye (Touzhen): Suddenly forming a millet-grain sized lump inside the eye, which produces pus after three to five days, commonly called Touzhen. This is formed by heat pathogens lodging between the eyelids, agitating body fluids. Observe the back; there will be small red acne points. Break them with a needle head to cure. This resolves the pathogenic evil of the Taiyang channel. (From *Yitong*)
Pearl tubes (conjunctival concretions) in the eye: Lead Carbonate (Qiandan) 5 qian, Carp Gallbladder. Mix into a paste, instill three to five times daily. (From *Shenghui Fang*)
Another method: Crush Niuxi (Achyranthes Root) and its leaves to extract juice, instill three to four times daily. (Same source)
Qingmang (Black Blindness): Male rat gallbladder (rat gallbladders are smallest and break easily upon slight fright) and Carp Gallbladder (two of each). Mix evenly and instill; effective immediately. (Same source)
Another method: Take five pig gallbladders, extract juice into a copper vessel, simmer slowly over low heat until it can be rolled into pills the size of millet seeds, and insert into the eye. (From *Waitai Miyao*)
