Discussion: The eyes are the gathering place of the essence and vitality of the Zang-Fu organs, the external manifestation of the Liver (Gan), and the pathway for body fluids (Jin-Ye). If the Zang-Fu organs harbor heat pathogens that internally steam the Liver, causing heat to surge upward to the eyes, it leads to a hot, astringent, and stagnant condition in the fluid pathways, resulting in accumulation at the eyelids. This manifests as ocular discharge (Chi).
Formula for Ze Xie Wan (Alisma Pill) to treat ocular discharge caused by heat pathogens in the Zang-Fu organs surging upward to the eyes and stagnating body fluids:
Ze Xie (Rhizoma Alismatis), Chong Wei Zi (Fructus Leonuri), Tu Si Zi (Semen Cuscutae, soaked in wine and pounded separately), Shi Hu (Caulis Dendrobii, roots removed), Di Fu Zi (Fructus Kochiae), Wu Wei Zi (Fructus Schisandrae), Sheng Gan Di Huang (Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, baked) each 1 liang; Shan Yu (Radix Dioscoreae) 1.5 liang; Xi Xin (Herba Asari, seedlings and leaves removed) 0.5 liang.
The above nine ingredients are pounded, sifted into powder, mixed with refined honey, and formed into pills the size of Sophora seeds. Take 20 pills per dose, swallowed with warm water on an empty stomach, and repeat before bedtime.
Formula for Ling Yang Jiao San (Antelope Horn Powder) to treat ocular discharge caused by wind-heat attacking the Liver and steaming upward to the eyes:

The above four ingredients are each made into fine powder. Mix with 2 sheng of clear white honey. Place in a copper vessel, seal tightly with oil paper, and steam over rice until the rice is cooked. Remove, squeeze out the dregs using cotton cloth, then add Qing Fen (Calomel) 2 qian and Long Nao powder 1 fen, mixing well. Re-seal with wax in a copper vessel.
