论述说:障翳(指遮蔽瞳孔的膜状物,导致视力障碍)这种疾病,根源在于风热毒气,蕴积在脏腑之中,向上冲犯并发作于眼目,凝结搏结而形成。因为眼睛是五脏精华的外现,也是肝脏的外部征候,如今风邪毒热存在于脏腑内,无法宣泄,向上冲入眼目,所以形成障翳。初期表现为眼睑隐涩不适、发红疼痛,逐渐形成翳膜遮挡视线,时间久了不消退,甚至粘连眼球,治疗难以痊愈,这称为远年障翳。

Discourse states: The disease of zhangyi (membranous opacity obstructing vision) originates from wind-heat toxic qi, which accumulates in the Zang-Fu organs and rushes upward to affect the eyes, condensing and binding to form the condition. Since the eyes are the manifestation of the essence of the five Zang organs and the external indicator of the Liver, when wind-pathogen and toxic heat reside within the Zang-Fu and cannot be vented, they rush upward into the eyes, thus causing zhangyi. Initially, there is a sensation of grittiness, redness, and pain; gradually, membranous opacity forms and obstructs vision. If it persists for a long time without receding, or even adheres to the eyeball, it is difficult to cure with treatment. This is referred to as chronic zhangyi (long-standing visual obstruction).
To treat internal and external zhangyi, regardless of duration, and all eye diseases, Cishi Wan (Magnetite Pill) formula:
Cishi (Magnetite, 3 liang, calcined red, quenched ten times in vinegar, ground fine, refined, and dried) Niuxi (Achyranthes Root, remove sprouts, soak overnight in bean dregs water, then decoct five boils in unadulterated wine, dry) Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig, remove rough bark) Baiziren (Biota Seed, grind separately, wrap in paper, press to remove oil) Bajitian (Morinda Root, remove heart, decoct five to seven boils in unadulterated wine, bake dry) Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root, remove forked ends) Fupenzi (Raspberry, remove stems and leaves) Yuanzhi (Polygala Root, remove heart) Ganjiang (Dried Ginger, processed) Digupi (Lycium Bark) Fuzi (Aconite Lateral Root, processed until cracked, remove skin and umbilical scar) Huangqi (Astragalus Root, sliced, each 1 liang) BaiFuling (Poria, remove black skin, 1.5 liang) Lurong (Deer Antler, select soft parts, decoct in wine for over ten boils, remove hair, bake dry, 2 liang) Roushoucong (Cistanche Stem, 3 liang, soak in unadulterated wine for two days, bake) Shengdihuang (Rehmannia Root, fresh, baked dry, 2 liang)
The above sixteen ingredients are crushed and ground into powder, mixed with refined honey to form pills the size of paulownia seeds. Take 20 pills per dose, on an empty stomach with warm wine or salted water. Dosage may be increased to 30 pills.
To treat ganfeng (nutritional deficiency wind) suffered since childhood that attacks the eyes causing opacity, persisting despite long-term treatment, where any membranous opacity obstructs vision provided the eyeball itself is not damaged, Bijin San (Secret Gold Powder) formula:

To treat long-standing wind-toxin where qi attacks the eyes causing dimness, redness, and grittiness, proliferating flesh forming sores, membranous opacity obscuring vision, long-standing unilateral or bilateral headache, eyes gradually appearing smaller, and brain-clamping wind pain with many black spots seen in vision, Qianghuo Wan (Notopterygium Pill) formula:

The above eleven ingredients are crushed and sifted into fine powder, mixed with refined honey to form pills the size of paulownia seeds. Take 20 pills per dose after meals with warm water, gradually increasing to 30 pills.

Crush the above eight ingredients into coarse powder. Take 3 qianbi per dose with one cup of water, decoct to 0.6 cups, remove dregs, and take warm after meals.
For chronic eye opacity not healing, apply Beichi San (Conch Tooth Powder) for instillation:
Beichi (Conch Tooth, 1 fen) Hupo (Amber, 1 fen) Zhusha (Cinnabar, 0.5 liang) Longnao (Borneol, 0.5 fen) Mayaxiao (Mirabilite, 3 fen)

Ruiren (Buckthorn Seed, remove skin and tip, line bottom of silver bowl) Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome, remove roots, wash clean, line on top of Ruiren, each 2 liang)
Place 49 ancient copper coins on top of the Huanglian. Soak in two cups of well water, ensuring water level does not exceed the coins. Use 4 liang of aged mugwort (seven years old), tightly packed into one moxa cone. Burn the moxa on the coins, cover the bowl tightly to prevent smoke escape. After burning, remove ash, coins, Huanglian, and Ruiren. Collect the moxa smoke dissolved in water. Add 2 liang of white honey, decoct together to one cup, remove dregs. Then mix with:
Shexiang (Musk) Longnao (Borneol, each 2 fen) Pengsha (Borax, 1 zi)
Grind these three ingredients finely into a paste, reheat, seal tightly, and immerse in well water for seven days to remove fire toxicity. When treating opacity, first wash eyes with plain boiled water, then instill medicine using a rush light wick, three times daily. Avoid wind exposure.

The above twenty ingredients are crushed and sifted into powder. Take 3 qianbi per dose at dawn mixed with aged tea liquor, and again at noon and before bed. For proliferating flesh with unbearable redness, swelling, and pain, improvement is seen in three to five days. For long-standing red-white opacity, reduction occurs in seven days, and the eye returns to normal peace in fourteen days. Cases with dead eye roots are untreatable; living eyes are universally treated. Eyes that hurt due to emotional distress, alcohol, sexual excess, or wind/rain exposure are "living eyes." Eyes with no tears and no pain are "dead eyes" and require no further treatment.
For eye dimness and internal/external opacity causing blindness, apply Huanjing Shenming Jiu (Eye-Rejuvenating Divine Wine):
Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome, remove roots, 5 liang) Shijueming (Abalone Shell) Cao Jueming (Cassia Seed) Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger) Shigao (Gypsum) Huang Xiaoshi (Yellow Niter) Ruiren (Buckthorn Seed) Qinpi (Fraxinus Bark) Shanzhuyu (Cornus Fruit) Danggui (Angelica Sinensis) Huangqin (Scutellaria Root, remove black center) Shashen (Adenophora Root) Puxiao (Mirabilite) Gancao (Licorice Root, roasted) Shaoyao (Peony Root) Zexie (Alisma Rhizome) Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig, remove rough bark) Qizi (Shepherd's Purse Seed) Cheqianzi (Plantago Seed) Dan Zhuye (Bamboo Leaf) Baiziren (Biota Seed) Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root, remove forked ends) Wutou (Aconite Root, remove skin and umbilical scar) Xinyi (Magnolia Bud) Renshen (Ginseng) Xiong (Angelica Root) Baizhi (Angelica Dahurica Root) Qumai Sui (Persicaria Spike) Taoren (Peach Seed, remove skin and tip, stir-fry double-kernel ones) Xixin (Asarum Root, remove sprouts and leaves) Difuzi (Kochia Fruit, each 3 liang) Longnao (Borneol, 3 qian) Dingxiang (Clove, 2 qian) Zhenzhu (Pearl, 25 pieces, poreless)
Chop the above thirty-four ingredients, place in a silk bag, and soak in 5 dou of good wine in a jar. Soak for seven days in spring/summer, fourteen days in autumn/winter. Take 0.5 he after meals. Do not drink to intoxication/vomiting; increase dosage gradually. After one hundred days, vision will return to normal. Only cases with destroyed/cracked eyeballs are untreatable; if the sclera and cornea are intact, this medicine can regenerate vision and restore the pupil to its original state.
For eye membranous opacity persisting long-term, apply Tingli Shi San (Descurainia Seed Powder):
Tingli Shi (Descurainia Seed, shell removed by grinding with willow wood tool, yellow flesh sifted through horsehair sieve, burnt shells discarded. From 10 liang, 4 liang of pure flesh is obtained; willow wood is necessary for shell removal)
Grind the single ingredient into powder. Slice pig liver thinly, coat with powder, and roast slowly over low heat until cooked. Form into powder. Take 2 qianbi before bed mixed with aged rice water. Alternatively, make pills with strong vinegar, take 20 pills per dose. Or, take the inner sac of Tingli Shi, steam once, dry, and grind into powder. Use as powder or honey pills, taken with warm water.
