The *Qianjin Fang* (Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) treats Nyctalopia (Night Blindness):
*Chenopodii Fructus* (Difuzi, 地肤子, five liang), *Cassiae Semen* (Juemingzi, 决明子, one sheng).
Grind the above into powder, mix with rice water to form pills. Take 20–30 pills per dose.
A folk prescription for Nyctalopia:
*Atractylodis Rhizoma* (Cangzhu, 苍术, four liang, soaked in rice wash water, peeled, sliced, and dried).
Grind the above into powder. Take two liang of pig liver, slice it open, insert the medicine inside, tie securely with hemp thread, and boil with one he of millet and one bowl of water in a clay pot. First, fumigate the eyes with the steam. When warm enough, take three qian before bedtime; this is highly effective.
The *Shenghui Fang* (Holy Healing Formulas) treats Nyctalopia, regardless of the season or time. Use one liang of *Atractylodis Rhizoma* ground into powder; take one qian per dose.
Fuming San (Restoring Vision Powder) treats children who cannot see objects at dusk, which is Nyctalopia.
*Atractylodis Rhizoma* (Cangzhu, 苍术, two liang, soaked in rice wash water, scraped clean, sliced, and dried), *Gastrodiae Rhizoma* (Gujingcao, 谷精草, one liang), *Chenopodii Fructus*, *Cassiae Semen*, *Scutellariae Radix* (Huangqin, 黄芩, half liang each).
Pulverize the above ingredients finely. Take one qian per dose, add eight parts water and a little *Schizonepetae Spica* (Jingjie, 荆芥), decoct until five parts remain, strain, and take warm after meals.
Chu Yushi stated that excessive whiteness of the eye sclera often indicates Deficiency, treated primarily by *Corni Fructus Pill*.
*Cornus Officinalis Fructus* (Shanzhuyu, 山茱萸, two liang), *Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata* (Shudihuang, 熟地黄), *Moutan Cortex* (Mudanpi, 牡丹皮), *Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix* (Niuxi, 牛膝), *Poria* (Fuling, 茯苓), *Alismatis Rhizoma* (Zexie, 泽泻, one liang each), *Cervi Cornu Degelatinatum* (Lurong, 鹿茸, half liang).
Grind into powder, make pills with refined honey, sized like wu zi (wattle seeds). Take twenty pills after meals with salted water.
[Xue Ji] A child with excessive scleral whiteness presented with phlegm and convulsions. Initially, four doses of *Yiqing Wan* (Suppressing Blue Pill) stopped the phlegm and convulsions. Subsequently, taking *Dihuang Wan* (Rehmannia Pill) for about a year resulted in normal dark pupil appearance. Another child with excessive scleral whiteness could not walk at age three, had unclear speech, cold or hot legs, and loose stools. In the morning, *Buzhong Yiqi Tang* (Tonify the Middle and Augment Qi Decoction) was added with *Schisandrae Fructus* (Wuweizi, 五味子) and dried *Dioscoreae Rhizoma* (Shanyao, 山药) to tonify Spleen and Lung. In the evening, *Dihuang Wan* was added with *Schisandrae Fructus*, *Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix*, and *Cervi Cornu Degelatinatum* to tonify Liver and Kidney. The condition resolved in less than three months. Another child with white sclera, weak legs, hot feet, and a sorrowful facial expression took *Dihuang Wan* for over two months, gradually becoming stronger. After more than a year of use, the scleral whiteness gradually turned black, and the child survived smallpox without incident.
