治眼疾肿疼，或 肉遮睛，或赤脉络目，或目睛胀疼，或目疼连脑，或羞明多泪，一切虚火实热之证。
鲜蒲公英（四两，根叶茎花皆用，花开残者去之，如无鲜者可用干者二两代之。）
上一味煎汤两大碗，温服一碗。余一碗乘热熏洗（按目疼连脑者，宜用鲜蒲公英二两，加怀牛膝一两煎汤
饮之）。
此方得之于××，言其母尝患眼疾，疼痛异常，经延医调治，数月不愈，有高姓媪，告以此方，一次即愈。
愚自得此方后，屡试皆效。夫蒲公英遍地皆有，仲春生苗，季春开花色正黄，至初冬其花犹有开者，状类小菊，
其叶似大蓟，田家采取生啖，以当菜蔬。其功长于治疮，能消散痈疔毒火，然不知其能治眼疾也。使人皆知其
治眼疾，如此神效，天下无瞽目之人矣。
古服食方，有还少丹。蒲公英连根带叶取一斤，洗净，勿令见天日，晾干，用斗子解盐（即《神农本草经》
大盐晒于斗之中者出山西解池）一两，香附子五钱，二味为细末，入蒲公英，水内淹一宿，分为十二团，用皮
纸三四层裹扎定，用六一泥（即蚯蚓泥）如法固济，灶内焙干，乃以武火
通红为度，冷定取出，去泥为末。早晚擦牙漱之，吐咽任便，久久方效。年未及八十者，服之须发反黑，齿
落更生。年少服之，至老不衰。由是观之，其清补肾经之功可知。且其味苦，又能清心经之热，所以治眼疾甚
效者，或以斯欤！
治疗眼部疾病引起的肿胀疼痛，或者胬肉遮蔽瞳孔，或者眼内赤色脉络蔓延至眼球，或者眼球胀痛疼痛，或者眼睛疼痛牵连头部，或者畏光多泪，以及一切由虚火或实热引起的证候。
鲜蒲公英（四两，根、叶、茎、花全部使用，花朵已凋谢的去除，如果没有新鲜的，可以用干品二两代替。）
以上一味药煎煮成两大碗汤剂，温服一碗。剩余的一碗趁热熏洗眼部（按语：如果是眼睛疼痛牵连头部的情况，适宜用鲜蒲公英二两，加怀牛膝一两煎汤饮用）。
这个方子是从某人那里得来的，他说他的母亲曾经患有眼疾，疼痛异常剧烈，经过请医生调理治疗，几个月都没有痊愈。有一位高姓老妇人告诉了这个方子，服用一次就痊愈了。我自从得到这个方子后，多次尝试都有效。蒲公英到处都有，仲春时节生苗，季春时节开花颜色正黄，到了初冬还有开花的，形状像小菊花，它的叶子像大蓟，农家采集后生吃，把它当作蔬菜。它的主要功效擅长治疗疮疡，能够消散痈疔毒火，但人们不知道它能治疗眼疾。如果人们都知道它治疗眼疾如此神效，天下就没有盲人了吧。
古代服食方中，有还少丹。取蒲公英连根带叶一斤，洗净，不要让见到天日，晾干，用斗子解盐（即《神农本草经》中记载的大盐，晒在斗中出产于山西解池）一两，香附子五钱，将这两味药研成细末，加入蒲公英，在水中浸泡一夜，分成十二团，用三四层皮纸包裹扎紧，用六一泥（即蚯蚓泥）按照方法密封固济，在灶内焙干，然后用武火烧至通红为止，冷却后取出，去掉泥土研成粉末。早晚用来擦牙漱口，吐出来或咽下去都可以，时间久了才见效。年龄不到八十岁的人，服用后须发反而变黑，脱落的牙齿重新生长。年轻人服用，直到年老也不衰弱。由此看来，它清补肾经的功效可以知道了。而且它的味道苦，又能清心经的热，所以治疗眼疾非常有效，或许就是因为这个原因吧！
To treat eye diseases characterized by swelling and pain, or pterygium (growth of fleshy tissue over the cornea) obscuring the pupil, or red vascular networks spreading across the eyeball, or distending pain in the eyeballs, or eye pain radiating to the head, or photophobia with excessive tearing, as well as all syndromes caused by deficiency-fire or excess-heat.
Fresh Dandelion (Radix et Herba Taraxaci) (4 liang [approx. 150g], using roots, leaves, stems, and flowers; discard withered flowers. If fresh ones are unavailable, 2 liang [approx. 75g] of dried herb may be used as a substitute.)
Decoct the above single herb in water to yield two large bowls of decoction. Take one bowl warm orally. Use the remaining bowl while still hot to fumigate and wash the eyes. (Note: For cases where eye pain radiates to the head, it is advisable to use 2 liang of fresh Radix et Herba Taraxaci combined with 1 liang of Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix [Huai Niuxi], decocted for oral administration.)
This formula was obtained from an individual who stated that his mother once suffered from an eye disease with severe pain. After medical treatment for several months without cure, an elderly woman surnamed Gao recommended this formula, which resulted in a complete recovery after a single application. Since obtaining this formula, I have tested it repeatedly with consistent efficacy. Dandelion grows everywhere; it sprouts in mid-spring, blooms with bright yellow flowers in late spring, and some flowers remain open into early winter. The flowers resemble small chrysanthemums, and the leaves resemble Cirsium japonicum (Da Ji). Farmers harvest it raw to eat as a vegetable. Its primary merit lies in treating sores and carbuncles, dissipating toxic heat from abscesses and furuncles, yet people are unaware of its ability to treat eye diseases. If everyone knew its miraculous efficacy for eye diseases, there would be no blind people in the world.
In ancient dietary therapy formulas, there is Huan Shao Dan (Return to Youth Pill). Take one jin [approx. 500g] of Dandelion, including roots and leaves. Wash it clean, ensuring it does not see sunlight, and dry it. Mix with 1 liang [approx. 50g] of Xieyan Salt (Jie Salt from Jiechi, Shanxi, as recorded in *Shennong Bencao Jing*—large salt sun-dried in a bushel), and 5 qian [approx. 25g] of Cyperi Rhizoma (Xiangfu). Grind these two ingredients into a fine powder, add the Dandelion, and soak in water overnight. Divide the mixture into twelve balls. Wrap each ball tightly in three to four layers of rice paper. Seal them using Liu Yi Mud (earthworm excrement/mud) according to proper methods. Bake in a stove until dry, then apply strong fire until they turn red-hot. Allow to cool, remove the mud, and grind into powder. Use morning and evening to brush teeth and rinse the mouth; spit out or swallow at will. Efficacy appears after long-term use. For those under eighty years old, hair and beard may turn black again, and lost teeth may regrow. Young people who take it will remain vigorous until old age. From this, the efficacy of clearing and tonifying the Kidney Meridian can be understood. Furthermore, its bitter taste clears Heat from the Heart Meridian. Thus, its high efficacy in treating eye diseases may be attributed to this mechanism!
