Ganju (Flos Chrysanthemi Indici) Gouqizi (Fructus Lycii) Digupi (Cortex Lycii, each 2 liang) Tusizi (Semen Cuscutae) Shengdi (Radix Rehmanniae Preparata) Shudi (Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata, each 3 liang)
Process with refined honey to make pills. Take 3–4 qian on an empty stomach with salted water.
(Treats red filaments in the eyes caused by heat in the Heart and Lung.)
Sangbaipi (Cortex Mori, soaked in honey-water, 3 liang) Digupi (Cortex Lycii, bone removed, soaked in raw Gancao [Radix Glycyrrhizae] water, 3 liang) Maidong (Rhizoma Ophiopogonis, 5 liang) Zhiren (Fructus Gardeniae, stir-fried, 2 liang) Chuanhuanglian (Rhizoma Coptidis, soaked in decoction of Honghua [Flos Carthami, 2 qian] and wine, then stir-fried, 8 qian)
Cheqianzi (Semen Plantaginis, slightly stir-fried, 8 qian) Shudahuang (Radix Rhei Preparata, 2 liang)
Grind into powder. Use decoction of Ju Hua (Flos Chrysanthemi) to form pills the size of mung beans. Take 3 qian with boiling plain water after breakfast or before bed. Continue until redness subsides.
(Miraculous for treating fire-eye disease.)
Gan Lüdou Fen (Powder of Phaseoli Radiati Semen, 4 liang ground) Huanglian (Rhizoma Coptidis, fine powder, 4 qian)
Place these two ingredients in a small container. Extract juice from four Zhu Dan (Bilis Porci), mix with the powder, add Mian (Tritice Aestivae Farina) to blend evenly, and form pills the size of mung beans. Take 15 pills daily with salted water. Administer for three days, then discontinue. If aphthous ulcers occur, hold one pill in the mouth; it will heal in one day.
(Treats eye diseases resulting from excessive diaphoresis, causing fire to fail to descend.)
Huanglian (Rhizoma Coptidis, wine-fried) Huangqin (Radix Scutellariae, stir-fried) Huangbai (Cortex Phellodendri, stir-fried until brown) Zhizi (Fructus Gardeniae, crushed with skin and stir-fried) Ganju (Flos Chrysanthemi Indici, equal parts)

The above three formulas are for descending fire. They are not suitable if nebulae are present.
Generally, eye diseases originate from fire. Excessive fire generates phlegm; accumulated phlegm obstructs the chest and diaphragm, causing turbid qi to ascend to the eyes. Mild cases result in blurred vision, while severe cases lead to cloud-like nebulae. It is appropriate to take:
