Physicians treating eye diseases, although categorizing symptoms into various types, must deeply contemplate and carefully examine the underlying pathogenesis. Diseases vary in duration (acute vs. chronic) and severity, requiring differentiation between exterior and interior patterns, as well as wind-heat, qi-heat, damp-heat, and excess-heat. Acute eye conditions often arise from mild accumulation of internal heat-toxins that ascend along the meridians to the head and eyes, triggered by external wind-cold invasion. Treatment must first release the exterior wind-pathogen, then clear the internal fire-heat; Coptis Rhizome (Huanglian, 黄连) and Scutellaria Root (Huangqin, 黄芩) are used to purge fire, Saposhnikovia Root (Fangfeng, 防风) and Mint (Bohe, 薄荷) to disperse wind, supplemented by herbs such as Ephedra Stem (Mahuang, 麻黄) and Atractylodes Rhizome (Cangzhu, 苍术). If there is no external wind-cold constraint, but merely blood stasis obstructing the upper body, purgative agents containing Rheum Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang, 大黄), Angelica Sinensis Radix (Danggui, 当归), and Stephania Tetrandra Saponins (Fangji, 防己) should be employed. For chronic visual blurring, Angelica Sinensis Radix (Danggui, 当归), Rehmannia Root (Dihuang, 地黄), Saposhnikovia Root (Fangfeng, 防风), and Notopterygium Rhizome et Radix (Qianghuo, 羌活) are suitable; if nebulae (翳膜) are present, add Equisetum Hiemale Caulis (Muzei, 木贼), Tribulus Fruit (Jili, 蒺藜), Cicada Slough (Chantui, 蝉蜕), and Cassia Seed (Juemingzi, 决明子). If the eyelids are fused and cannot open, this indicates cold-pathogen damaging the eyelid tissue; qi-regulating herbs such as Tangerine Peel (Qingpi, 青皮), Phellodendron Bark (Huangbai, 黄柏 - inferred from context "黄 "), and Cyperus Rhizome (Xiangfu, 香附) should be used, assisted by wind-dispersing herbs. For blood stagnation, blood-invigorating herbs like Red Peony Root (Chishao, 赤芍), Angelica Sinensis Tail (Guiwei, 归尾), and Burdock Fruit (Niubangzi, 鼠粘子) are appropriate. In cases of headache, Notopterygium Rhizome et Radix (Qianghuo, 羌活), Angelica Dahurica Radix (Baizhi, 白芷), Vitex Fruit (Manjingzi, 蔓荆子), Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizome (Gaben, 藁本), and Aconite Lateral Root Preparata (Chuanwu, 川乌) may be used, assisted by Saposhnikovia Root (Fangfeng, 防风), Schizonepeta Spike (Jingjie, 荆芥), Scrophularia Root (Xuanshen, 玄参), Bupleurum Root (Chaihu, 柴胡), and Asarum Root (Xixin, 细辛); such usage will certainly be appropriate. For severe dizziness, blurred vision, intense pain, and swelling with discomfort around the eye orbits caused by phlegm-fluid retention, Erchen Decoction (Erchen Tang, 二陈汤) combined with wind-dispersing herbs is indicated. For swelling, dull pain, and uncontrollable hot tears, bitter-cold herbs should be applied, but one must assess the patient's physical constitution and qi deficiency or excess, as well as the depth and location of the pathology, avoiding rigid adherence to texts and relying instead on flexible clinical judgment. Medical texts provide established rules for future generations to maintain order; for chronic conditions, formulas can be sought gradually, whereas acute conditions change rapidly. Without understanding the thermal nature of herbs and the urgency of the disease, treatment may cause harm rather than benefit. I have compiled over sixty mnemonic verses from various sources, representing proven effective formulas. Memorizing them thoroughly allows for instant recall; mastering the principles of addition and subtraction makes them true treasures of ophthalmology. Future practitioners should cherish these teachings, valuing the art so it is not despised and their status is respected. The treatise on internal cataracts relies on oral transmission and heart-mind instruction, hence not recorded in writing; to speak superficially would not be the act of a benevolent gentleman.
