As for Liver Deficiency Eye Disease, the symptoms are diverse. Some present with sudden onset of swelling, some with unceasing tearing, some with the formation of nebulae and halos on the cornea, and some with blurred vision, unable to see clearly at far or near distances.
The *Longmu Lun* states: In external barrier eye disease caused by Liver deficiency and accumulated heat, at the initial stage, there is sudden swelling, redness, dryness, tearing, itching, pain that is difficult to endure, and gradually, toxic spots appear on the pupil and cornea.
A song says: Pain and redness arise from excessive effort and mental labor; eyes hurt and fear light, making it hard to open them. They flare up intermittently, as if caused by resentful ghosts and sorrowful spirits bringing disaster. If a doctor is consulted promptly, recovery is possible; one must know this is due to heat and fatigue in the Liver and Diaphragm. Seek decoctions urgently to remove the pathogen quickly, lest the root cause remain buried in the Zang organs. When one eye first becomes afflicted, the other will likely follow. If it passes lightly this year, it may become more frequent and dangerous in subsequent years. For treatment, Qingxiangzi Wan (Cocklebur Seed Pill) must be taken consistently; if surgery is needed to incise the eyelids to drain blood, Zhusha Fang (Cinnabar Formula) should be instilled into the eyes to restore vision and tonify the Liver.
