而疾,心受热毒,赤而痛者,心主夏之气;脾病是肉轮,色黄而肿,是脾虚,色赤
而痒,是脾气积热;肾病是水轮,色黄而光,是肾受风热之邪,色昏而浊,肾气虚

一失,用药无瘥。

宜凉肺也。脾热睛痛、宜凉脾胃也。肾热睛生虚障痛肿,宜均肾气也。膀胱热生倒睫拳毛也。肠热浮翳遮睛,宜凉心
肺也。
肝冷有泪羞明,宜补肾肝和气也。胆冷昏暗两睑涩,宜补肾益肝也。心冷气不顺,宜温脾也。眼睛疼,宜温脾生血
也。肾冷则生黑花,宜补肾生精也。膀胱冷则多昏暗,大肠冷则眼昏,宜服暖药也。肺冷受风邪寒气,宜补心肺也。脾

肝病对应风轮,若眼色黄中带赤,是风热邪气侵袭所致;若眼色黄中带黑,则是肝肺受寒所致。心病对应血轮,若眼色红且伴有急迫感,或心受热毒导致眼睛红肿疼痛,这是心主司夏季火热之气的影响。脾病对应肉轮,若眼睑色黄且肿胀,是脾气虚弱所致;若眼睑色红且瘙痒,是脾气积聚内热所致。肾病对应水轮,若眼色黄而光亮,是肾脏受到风热邪气侵袭;若眼神昏浊,是肾气虚衰败坏所致。肺病对应气轮,若眼色黄中带赤,是风热毒邪攻冲所致;若红色极甚而疼痛,是火毒损伤肺金(白色属金)所致。医者若能辨明这些证候,治疗便万无一失,用药不会无效。
肝热会导致肉攀睛(胬肉攀侵黑睛),适宜采用调理肝脏、清凉胆腑的方法。胆热会导致眼睛生成翳膜并疼痛,适宜采用清凉胆腑、退除肝热的方法。心热表现为眼部赤脉不散,适宜采用清凉心脏的方法。肺热会导致眼睑生疮,适宜采用清凉肺脏的方法。脾热会导致眼睛疼痛,适宜采用清凉脾胃的方法。肾热会导致眼睛生成虚性障蔽并疼痛肿胀,适宜采用调和肾气的方法。膀胱热会导致倒睫拳毛(睫毛向内卷曲刺眼)。肠热会导致浮翳遮蔽瞳孔,适宜采用清凉心肺的方法。
肝冷会导致流泪、畏光,适宜采用补肾肝、调和气血的方法。胆冷会导致视物昏暗、两眼睑涩滞不适,适宜采用补肾益肝的方法。心冷气机不顺,适宜采用温补脾脏的方法。眼睛疼痛,适宜采用温补脾脏以生血的方法。肾冷则会产生眼前飞花(黑花),适宜采用补肾生精的方法。膀胱冷则会导致多视物昏暗,大肠冷则会导致眼睛昏花,适宜服用温热性质的药物。肺冷感受风邪寒气,适宜采用补益心肺的方法。脾冷则会导致眼皮闭合无法睁开。凡是需用药物治疗时,必须探究病因本源,这样才不会有谬误。

Liver disease corresponds to the Wind Wheel (the cornea and sclera). If the eye color is yellow with red, it indicates invasion by wind-heat; if the eye color is yellow with black, it indicates cold in the Liver and Lungs. Heart disease corresponds to the Blood Wheel (the eyelids and conjunctiva). If the eye color is red with a sense of urgency, or if heat-toxin affects the heart causing redness and pain, this reflects the Heart's association with the summer Qi (fire). Spleen disease corresponds to the Flesh Wheel (the eyelids). If the eyelids are yellow and swollen, it indicates Spleen deficiency; if they are red and itchy, it indicates accumulation of heat in the Spleen Qi. Kidney disease corresponds to the Water Wheel (the pupil and iris). If the eye appears yellow and bright, it indicates the Kidney has been invaded by wind-heat pathogenic factors; if the vision is dim and turbid, it indicates failure and deficiency of Kidney Qi. Lung disease corresponds to the Qi Wheel (the white of the eye/sclera). If the eye is yellow with red, it is attacked by wind-heat toxin; if the redness is extreme and painful, it indicates Fire-toxin injuring Metal (Lung). If physicians can clearly distinguish these patterns, treatment will be infallible, and medication will not fail.
Liver heat causes *Rou Pan Jing* (pterygium growing onto the cornea); it is appropriate to regulate the Liver and cool the Gallbladder. Gallbladder heat causes formation of corneal opacities and pain; it is appropriate to cool the Gallbladder and dissipate Liver heat. Heart heat manifests as persistent red vessels in the eyes; it is appropriate to cool the Heart. Lung heat causes sores on the eyelids; it is appropriate to cool the Lungs. Spleen heat causes eye pain; it is appropriate to cool the Spleen and Stomach. Kidney heat causes false cataracts with pain and swelling; it is appropriate to harmonize Kidney Qi. Bladder heat causes inverted eyelashes (*Dao Jie Quan Mao*). Intestine heat causes floating opacities obscuring the pupil; it is appropriate to cool the Heart and Lungs.
Liver cold causes tearing and photophobia; it is appropriate to tonify the Liver and Kidney and harmonize Qi and Blood. Gallbladder cold causes dim vision and dryness/roughness in both eyelids; it is appropriate to tonify the Kidney and benefit the Liver. Heart cold with stagnant Qi causes discomfort; it is appropriate to warm the Spleen. Eye pain caused by cold should be treated by warming the Spleen to generate blood. Kidney cold generates "black flowers" (floaters); it is appropriate to tonify the Kidney and generate essence. Bladder cold causes frequent dim vision; Large Intestine cold causes blurred vision; it is appropriate to take warming medicines. Lung cold due to wind-cold pathogens requires tonifying the Heart and Lungs. Spleen cold causes inability to open the eyelids. In all cases requiring medication, one must investigate the root cause to avoid errors.
