Treats internal cataracts caused by overexertion and irregular diet. (Internal cataract refers to dimness within the eyeball. It appears indistinguishable from a healthy eye externally, except that the pupil presents as blue-white. Li Dongyuan stated: The essence and qi of the five zang organs and six fu organs are all derived from the spleen and stomach, and ascend to nourish the eyes. The spleen is the head of all yin meridians and the source of qi and blood. Therefore, when the spleen is deficient, the essence and qi of the five zang organs lose their control and cannot clarify vision. The heart governs the Ministerial Fire (Jun Huo), which should be tranquil and peaceful; if not, the Dependent Fire (Xiang Huo) assumes its function. The Dependent Fire is governed by the Pericardium (Bao Luo), which controls the hundred vessels and nourishes the eyes. Since exertion and invasion by pathogenic factors damage the blood vessels, various diseases arise. If physicians fail to regulate the spleen and stomach and nourish the blood to calm the spirit, treating only symptoms without addressing the root cause is incorrect.)
Scutellariae Radix (Huang Qin), Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen, 1 liang), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle (Zhi Gan Cao, 8 qian), Paeoniae Radix Alba (Baishao), Phellodendri Cortex (Huang Bo, stir-fried with wine four times, 3 qian), Viticis Fructus (Man Jing Zi, 2 qian). Take 4 qian per dose.
Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen) and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle (Zhi Gan Cao) greatly tonify Middle Qi to strengthen the spleen and stomach. Viticis Fructus (Man Jing Zi) raises clear Yang and unblocks the nine orifices. Paeoniae Radix Alba (Baishao) enters the Jueyin Liver Meridian to harmonize Ying Blood. (The eyes benefit from blood nourishment...)
Treats sudden redness, swelling, and pain of fire-eye, where heat is located in the skin and interstices and is easily dissipated. Apply this medication topically to the eyes for cure. (If heat originates internally and is deeply seated in the muscle layers, topical cooling medications are contraindicated, as they will not remove internal heat but instead trap the pathogenic fire.)
Take one egg, make a small hole, extract only the albumen, and place it in a porcelain bowl. Take 1 qian of Coptidis Rhizoma (Huang Lian), grind into powder, sprinkle onto the egg albumen, stir with chopsticks... extract the albumen... miraculous effect.
(From *Lei Yuan*) Treats ocular diseases and internal cataracts. (Ni Zhongxian said: The classics state: The heart is the concentration of the essence of the five zang organs. The eyes are its orifice, and also the orifice of the liver. The kidney governs bones, and the essence of bones transforms into Divine Water (Shen Shui). Thus, if Liver Wood is imbalanced, it harbors Heart Fire internally, causing reckless movement. Uncontrolled flaming fire damages Divine Water, leading upward to internal cataracts; this is a disease of the five zang organs. All vessels belong to the eyes. The Dependent Fire is the Pericardium, governing the hundred vessels and nourishing the eyes upward. Excessive fire causes the hundred vessels to boil, leading upward to internal cataracts; this is a disease of deficient Yang. The Bladder, Small Intestine, Sanjiao, and Gallbladder meridians all traverse the eyes, and their essence and qi also ascend to become the essence of the eyes. If any of these four fu organs declines, essence and qi are completely depleted, and pathogenic fire takes advantage to invade, leading upward to internal cataracts; this is a disease of the six fu organs. Divine Water and the black eye follow Yin. The white eye and red vessels follow Yang. When Yin and Yang are balanced, vision is possible. If Yin is weak, it cannot stand firm; if Yang is excessive, it becomes invasive. The classics state: Vigorous fire consumes Qi, vigorous fire scatters Qi. Leading upward to internal cataracts, this is a disease of weak Yin. These four conditions all result from Yin deficiency failing to match Yang.)
Pharbitidis Semen (Ye Ming Sha, washed clean), Cicadae Periostracum (Chan Tui), Equiseti Herba (Mu Zei, remove nodes), Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Dang Gui, 1 liang, washed with wine). Use 4 liang of Ovis Caprae Hepar (Yang Gan), boil in water, mash, and mix to form pills.
Mosquitoes are insects that feed on blood. Pharbitidis Semen (Ye Ming Sha) is bat feces (bats eat mosquitoes, and their eyes do not digest them; their excrement constitutes Ye Ming Sha). Therefore, it can dissipate evil blood in the eyes and improve vision. (Bats eat mosquitoes without eye degeneration; their feces constitute... Jueyin...)
(Jisheng Yanggan Wan): Coptidis Rhizoma (Huang Lian, 1 liang), male sheep liver (Ge Yang Gan, one piece). Remove fascia, use raw, mash, and mix to form pills. *Ben Shi Fang*: Boil until soft, mash, and use.
