The *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Manifestations of All Diseases) states: Accumulation of wind, heat, phlegm, and fluid retention in the zang-fu organs leads to disharmony of yin and yang. Liver qi stagnates and generates heat; this heat rushes upward to the eyes, causing pain in the eyeballs.

In the *Zhi Yan Fang* (Formulas for Treating Eye Diseases), a formula for sudden prolapse of the eyeball and blue cataract is as follows:
Yueyan Shi (Swallow Droppings, 1 fen)
Zhendan (Cinnabar, 1 fen)
Ganjiang (Dried Ginger, 1 fen)
These three substances are pounded into a fine powder. It should be blown onto the painful area using a tube, which will result in immediate cure. (Note: The *Bencao* records that Yueyan refers to the swallow with a purple chest that is light and small, whereas Huyan has black spots on its chest and makes loud sounds.)

In the *Yimen Fang* (Formulas from the Medical Gate), a formula for eyes protruding spontaneously by one or two inches is as follows:
Immediately irrigate and soak the eyes with cold water, changing the water frequently. Within a short time, the eyeball should retract naturally, returning to its normal state.

The *Yan Lun* (Discourse on Eyes) states: If eye swelling and pain have just begun, do not apply warm compresses using thin materials. This may cause the pathogenic heat to retreat inward. Although there may be temporary improvement, the condition will deteriorate over time.

In the *Zhi Yan Fang*, a formula for treating eye swelling and pain is as follows:
Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, 8 liang)
Soak in five sheng of water overnight. Squeeze out the juice the next morning and divide into two doses for oral administration.

Another formula: Wash the eyes with salt water made from vinegar slurry (Cujiang). This can be done up to ten times a day.

Yet another formula: Qinpi (Phellodendri Cortex, 2 liang) Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma, 1 liang) Kuzhuye (Cut Leaves of Bitter Bamboo, 1 sheng)
Boil in two sheng of water until reduced to seven ge. Use the decoction to wash the eyes.

It also states: A formula for treating acute epidemic wind-induced swelling, itching, and pain of the eyes is as follows:
Diguibai Pi (Cortex Lycii, 3 jin)
Boil in three dou of water until reduced to three sheng. Strain off the dregs, add two he of salt, and boil until reduced to one sheng. Apply this mixture to the eyes. Alternatively, add one liang of Ganjiang (Dried Ginger).

It also states: A formula for treating wind-induced swelling, itching, and pain of the eyes is as follows:
Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix, 2 liang) Diguibai Pi (Cortex Lycii, 2 liang) Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma, 1 liang) Ganjiang (Dried Ginger, 1 liang)
Boil in water until reduced to seven ge. Use the decoction to wash the eyes.

It also states: A formula for treating swelling and pain caused by heat-toxin after alcohol consumption is as follows:
Zhizi Ren (Gardeniae Fructus, 1 sheng) Zihu (Bupleuri Radix, 3 liang) Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum, 3 liang) Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas, 2 liang) Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, 2 liang) Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, 1 liang) Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 1 liang)
Boil in five sheng of water until reduced to one and a half sheng. Use the decoction to wash the eyes.
