目疼有二∶一谓目 白眼痛，一谓目珠黑眼疼。盖目 白眼疼属阳，故昼则疼甚，点苦寒药则效，经所谓
白眼赤脉法于阳故也。目珠黑眼疼属阴，故夜则疼甚，点苦寒则反剧，经所谓瞳子黑眼法于阴故也。
〔《简》〕补肝散 治肝虚目睛疼，冷泪不止，筋脉痛，及羞明怕日。
夏枯草五钱，香附子一两，共为末，每服一钱，腊茶调下，无时候服。
上夏枯草，治目珠疼，至夜则疼甚者，神效。或用苦寒眼药点上，反疼甚者，亦神效。盖目珠者，连目
本，目本又名目系，属厥阴之经也。夜甚，及用苦寒点之反甚者，夜与寒亦阴故也。丹溪云∶夏枯草有补养
厥阴血脉之功，其草三四月开花，遇夏至阴生则枯，盖禀纯阳之气也，故治厥阴目疼如神者，以阳治阴也。
予周师目珠疼，及连眉棱骨痛，并头半边肿痛，遇夜则作，用黄连膏子点上，则反大疼，诸药不效。灸厥阴、
少阳则疼随止，半月又发。又灸又止者月余，遂以夏枯草二两，香附二两，甘草四钱，同为细末，每服一钱
五分，用茶清调服下咽，则疼减大半，至四五日良愈。又一男子，年六十岁，亦目珠连眉棱骨疼，夜甚，用
苦寒剂点亦甚，与前证皆同，但有白翳二点，在黑目及外 为翳，药皆不效，亦以此药间东垣选奇汤，又加
四物黄连煎服，并灸厥阴、少阳而安。

〔《保》〕眼发赤肿，毒瓦斯侵睛胀痛，宜拔毒散。
眼睛疼痛有两种：一种是指白睛（眼球白色部分）疼痛，另一种是指黑睛（眼球黑色部分）疼痛。白睛疼痛属于阳证，所以白天疼痛加重，点用苦寒性质的眼药有效，正如经典所说“白眼赤脉法于阳”。黑睛疼痛属于阴证，所以夜间疼痛加重，点用苦寒药物反而加剧病情，正如经典所说“瞳子黑眼法于阴”。
〔《简要济众方》〕补肝散：治疗肝血虚引起的目睛疼痛、冷泪不止、筋脉疼痛，以及畏光怕日。
配方：夏枯草五钱，香附子一两，共研为细末。每次服用一钱，用腊茶调服，不拘时间服用。
上方中夏枯草，治疗黑睛疼痛，尤其是夜间加重的情况，效果极佳。如果点用苦寒眼药后疼痛反而加剧的，使用此药也极有效。因为黑睛连接目本（眼球根部），目本又称目系，归属于厥阴肝经。夜间疼痛加重，且用苦寒药点后反而加剧，是因为夜间和寒性都属于阴邪。朱丹溪说：夏枯草有补养厥阴血脉的功效，这种草在三四月份开花，遇到夏至阴气初生时就会枯萎，因为它禀受了纯阳之气，所以治疗厥阴经引起的目痛如神，这是以阳治阴的道理。
我的老师周先生患有黑睛疼痛，并牵连眉棱骨疼痛，以及头部半边肿痛，夜间发作，使用黄连膏点眼后反而剧烈疼痛，其他药物无效。艾灸厥阴经、少阳经穴位后疼痛随即停止，但半月后又复发。反复艾灸又缓解了一个多月，于是用夏枯草二两，香附二两，甘草四钱，共同研为细末。每次服用一钱五分，用清茶调服咽下，疼痛减轻大半，四五日后痊愈。
又有一名男子，六十岁，也是黑睛连眉棱骨疼痛，夜间加重，用苦寒药剂点眼也加重，与上述症状相同，只是黑睛上有两处白翳（角膜云翳）。此前用药均无效，也用此药配合东垣的选奇汤，再加四物汤合黄连煎服，并艾灸厥阴、少阳经穴位而安愈。

〔《杨氏家藏方》〕暴发性红眼无疮者，用古铜钱刮净姜汁，取汁涂在钱唇上，点入眼中，热泪流出，随点随愈。但小儿非常恐惧。不必怀疑，已试验验证有效。（有疮者不可用，此外以此法治痒也有效。）

〔《本草衍义》等〕治疗男人、女人、处女、小儿各种红眼，针头丸。
川乌尖（七枚，烘干）、白僵蚕（七枚，去嘴，烘干）、硼砂（十文）
以上研为细末，用猪胆取汁调药，不要太稀，做成软块摊在碗内。用荆芥、艾叶各一两，小皂角一茎，烧烟，将药碗倒扣在上面熏蒸。经常搅拌药膏使其均匀，再摊开再熏，直到皂角、荆芥、艾叶烧尽为止。再揉成块，用油纸包裹，埋入地下以去除火毒，冬天两昼夜，夏天一夜，春秋一日夜，取出，制成如针头大小的丸药。每丸点入眼中，效果奇妙。
〔《杨氏家藏方》〕人乳汁治疗眼疾功效多，为什么呢？人心主血，肝藏血，肝受血则能视，大概水进入经脉，血液乃成。又说：上行则为乳汁，下行则为月经，所以知道乳汁就是血，用来点眼，难道不适宜吗？
治疗眼痛。小黄柏皮，一名小柏子，用粗布擦去粗皮，刮取柔细的黄屑，用手迅速捏成团，如鸡蛋大，用苎麻丝捆扎，再用萝卜叶包裹，又用苎麻丝捆扎，放在灰火中煨烤，去掉外面两层有灰的部分，迅速用纱布绞出黄汁，收集起来。点眼非常妙。
另一方用乳汁拌小黄柏皮，同煨后点眼，效果更好。
〔世传〕《传信方》治疗眼风泪痒，或生翳，或赤痛，一切皆主治。宣州黄连捣为细末，蕤核仁去皮碾为膏，因为此性稍湿，末药不能久存之故。与黄连等分相合，取不蛀干枣三枚，割去少许枣头，留作盖，去核，将两物填入其中，再将割下的枣头盖上，根据前面合定，用薄绵包裹，最好用薄绵。在半碗水中，用银器，文武火煎，取一个鸡子壳，用绵过滤，待冷后点眼，万万不会失误，前后试验数十人，都有效。

朱砂（一钱，飞制）、脑子（五分）、乳香、没药（研，各等分）
以上研入膏中，和丸，如米粒大。每次用二丸，点眼两角，仰面卧，药化后才起身。
〔世传〕点药方。
黄连五钱，去须槌碎，用水三碗浸，夏季三日，冬季五日。用古文钱一百二十个同煎，取汁半碗。又将药渣再煎，共三次，取绵滤过，用瓷器熬成膏子，如砂糖样。再将炉甘石、黄连、芽茶（用小便淬过者）入麝香少许，同研细，入前膏子再熬，可丸为度，如桐子大，化开点眼。一方不用炉甘石，只将膏子入少许麝香点，尤其妙。一方阴阳寒热通用，以生姜、自燃汁重绵滤过，姜泥晒干。却用黄连膏入少许蜜，以姜泥为丸饼，如铜钱厚，或水化，或干点，神效。
姜汁点法，见前黑睛痛条，治疗目痛恶寒脉浮者有效。治疗目白眼痛诸法，并见后表里寒热虚实等条。

Eye pain is of two types: one refers to pain in the white part of the eye (Sclera), and the other refers to pain in the black part of the eye (Cornea/Pupil). Pain in the white part belongs to Yang, so it worsens during the day; applying bitter-cold eye drops is effective, as stated in the classics: "The red vessels in the white part follow the pattern of Yang." Pain in the black part belongs to Yin, so it worsens at night; applying bitter-cold drugs exacerbates it, as stated in the classics: "The pupil and black part follow the pattern of Yin."
[From *Jian Yao Ji Zhong Fang*] Bu Gan San (Liver-Nourishing Powder): Treats eye pain due to Liver Blood deficiency, continuous cold tears, tendon and vessel pain, and photophobia.
Formula: Xiakucao (Prunella Vulgaris) 5 qian, Xiangfuzi (Cyperi Rhizoma) 1 liang, ground together into powder. Take 1 qian each time, mixed with winter tea, taken at any time.
Regarding the above formula, Xiakucao (Prunella Vulgaris) is extremely effective for treating eye pain in the black part, especially when it worsens at night. If applying bitter-cold eye drops causes increased pain, this medicine is also extremely effective. This is because the black part connects to the root of the eye (Ocular Root), also known as the Eye System (Mu Xi), which belongs to the Jueyin Liver Meridian. Worsening at night and aggravation by bitter-cold points indicate that both night and cold are Yin in nature. Zhu Danxi said: Xiakucao (Prunella Vulgaris) has the function of nourishing the Jueyin blood vessels. It flowers in the third and fourth lunar months and withers when Yin energy begins to grow at the Summer Solstice, indicating it possesses pure Yang Qi. Therefore, it treats Jueyin eye pain miraculously by using Yang to treat Yin.
My teacher, Mr. Zhou, suffered from eye pain in the black part, extending to the brow bone, and swelling/pain on one side of the head, occurring at night. Using Huanglian Gao (Coptis Ointment) caused severe pain, and other medicines were ineffective. Moxibustion on Jueyin and Shaoyang acupoints stopped the pain, but it recurred after half a month. After repeated moxibustion for over a month, I used Xiakucao (Prunella Vulgaris) 2 liang, Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma) 2 liang, and Gancao (Licorice Root) 4 qian, ground into fine powder. Each dose was 1.5 qian, taken with clear tea. The pain decreased by more than half, and he recovered fully in four to five days.
Another man, aged sixty, also had eye pain in the black part extending to the brow bone, worsening at night, and aggravated by bitter-cold drops, similar to the previous case, but with two white nebulae (corneal opacities) on the black part. Previous medicines were ineffective. He was treated with this medicine combined with Dongyuan's Xuanqi Tang, plus Siwu Decoction with Huanglian, and moxibustion on Jueyin and Shaoyang acupoints, leading to recovery.
[From *Bencao Yan Yi* etc.] For unbearable eye pain.
Chuan Gui (Angelica Sinensis), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root), Xixin (Asarum), Bohe (Mint Leaf) (equal parts)
Grind into powder. Take 2 qian each time, mixed with prepared water of Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber), taken after meals, at noon, and before bed. One dose each time.
[From *Tai Ping Hui Min He Ji Ju Fang*] Zhi Tong San (Pain-Relieving Powder): Treats pain in both temple angles, eye pain, frequent seeing of black spots, red swollen eyes, wiry pulse, diagnosed as internal cataract, caused by irregular diet and overwork.
Chaihu (Bupleurum Root) 1.5 liang, Gancao (Licorice Root) (roasted) 7.5 qian, Gualougen (Trichosanthes Root) 2 liang, Danggui (Angelica Sinensis), Huangqin (Scutellaria Root) 4 liang (half wine-soaked, half stir-fried), Sheng Dihuang (Rehmannia Root) 1 liang.
Grind into coarse powder. Take 3 qian each time, with 1.5 cups of water, 3 slices of ginger, 1 jujube, taken hot before sleep. If urination is difficult, add Fuling (Poria) and Zexie (Alisma Rhizome) 5 qian each.
This formula treats Taiyang meridian Wei Qi deficiency with Blood excess, causing red swollen eyes, heavy eyelids, dampness in the head, corneal opacity, and eye pain. Excessive Liver Wind and Kidney deficiency causing dark vision.
Jiegeng Wan (Platycodon Pill)
Jiegeng (Platycodon Root) 1 jin, Qianniu (Morning Glory Seed) (head powder) 2 liang.
Grind into fine powder. Take 40-50 pills each time, up to 100 pills, with warm water before meals, twice daily.
[From *Yang Shi Jia Cang Fang*] For sudden red eyes without ulcers, scrape clean ginger juice onto an ancient copper coin, apply the juice on the coin's edge to the eye. Tears will flow out, and healing follows immediately. However, children fear this greatly. Do not doubt it; it has been tested and verified. (Not for use if ulcers are present; also effective for itching.)
[Zhang Zhongwen] For sudden red swollen painful eyes unable to open, with tearing. Grind the red skin of Fuzi (Aconite Lateral Root) into powder like silkworm feces, place in the eye, until healed.
[From *Bencao Yan Yi* etc.] For various red eyes in men, women, virgins, and children, Zhen Tou Wan (Needle-Head Pill).

Grind into powder. Mix with pig gallbladder juice to form a soft paste, spread in a bowl. Burn Jingjie (Schizonepeta Spike) and Aiye (Mugwort Leaf) 1 liang each, and one small Zaojiao (Tamarisk Twig), cover the bowl with the medicine to fumigate. Stir the paste frequently, re-spread and fumigate until the herbs are consumed. Form into blocks again, wrap in oil paper, bury in the ground to remove fire toxicity: 2 days/nights in winter, 1 night in summer, 1 day/night in spring/autumn. Take out, form into needle-head sized pills. Apply one pill to the eye; miraculous.
[Zhu Danxi] For all eye diseases, decoct Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome) in human milk and apply.
[From *Yang Shi Jia Cang Fang*] Why does human milk have many benefits for the eyes? The Heart governs Blood, the Liver stores Blood; when the Liver receives Blood, vision is possible. Water entering the meridians forms Blood. It is said: ascending becomes milk, descending becomes menstruation. Thus, milk is Blood. Applying it to the eyes is certainly appropriate.
For eye pain. Xiao Huangbai (Phellodendron Bark), also called Xiao Baizi. Rub off the rough skin with coarse cloth, scrape off the soft yellow shavings, quickly squeeze into a ball the size of a chicken egg, bind with ramie thread, wrap in radish leaves, bind again, and roast in ash fire. Remove the outer two layers with ash. Quickly squeeze out the yellow juice with gauze and collect it. Excellent for eye application.
Another method: mix Xiao Huangbai bark with human milk, roast together, and apply; even better.
[Worldly Transmission] *Chuan Xin Fang* treats wind-tearing, itching, nebula formation, or red pain in the eyes. Xuanzhou Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome) ground into fine powder, Ruhe Ren (Buckthorn Seed) peeled and pounded into paste. Because this is slightly moist, the powder cannot be stored long. Mix equal parts with Huanglian. Take 3 un-wormy dry jujubes, cut off the top slightly, keep the top, remove seeds, fill with the two substances, replace the top, wrap in thin cotton (best). Decoct in half a bowl of water in a silver vessel with gentle heat. Filter through cotton using an eggshell. Cool and apply to eyes. Infallible; tested on dozens of people successfully.

Cut finely. Soak in half a bowl of water overnight. Decoct by fire to about half volume. Strain through cotton to remove dregs, making it clean. Decoct again into a thick paste. Spread on a bowl, invert, and cover. Place a piece of cooked Aiye (Mugwort Leaf) the size of a bullet underneath and ignite. Fumigate the paste until the mugwort is consumed. Then add the following:
Zhusha (Cinnabar) 1 qian (washed), Naozi (Borneol) 0.5 qian, Ruxiang (Frankincense), Moyao (Myrrh) (ground, equal parts).

[Worldly Transmission] Eye Drop Formula.

Add Lulganshi (Calamina), Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome), Yacha (Sprout Tea) (quenched in urine), and a little Shexiang (Musk). Grind finely. Mix with the previous paste and decoct until pillable. Form like sesame seeds. Dissolve and apply. Another method: omit Calamina, add a little Musk to the paste; even better. Another universal method for Yin/Yang, Cold/Heat: Filter fresh ginger juice and self-ignited juice through thick cotton. Dry the ginger mud. Mix Huanglian paste with a little honey, form into cake-like pills the thickness of a coin. Dissolve in water or apply dry; miraculous.

Family mistakenly gave decoction to child. Child vomited heavily, then eyes opened immediately. Zhao Junyu of Anqing had sudden red swollen eyes, drops/washes ineffective.
