水疳眼突然生成一颗赘生物。它可能生长在眼睑内部,也可能生长在黑睛(角膜)上。有时疼痛像针刺一样剧烈,牵连眼眶甚至头部,伴有红肿灼痛。也有时候不疼,形态大小不一。如果病情不散,就会演变成漏睛症。
这种病症多生于白睛(气轮)与眼睑之间。如果生在黑睛(风轮),眼睛必定会破损。此病有虚实两种类型:实证表现为病灶小而疼痛剧烈;虚证表现为病灶大而疼痛缓和。
其形状像黑豆,也有横长而圆形的。它与木疳相似,但发病部位略有不同,颜色也不一样。黑色属水,青、绿、碧、蓝等色属木。如果长期失治,会转变为漏头风。人们常患此病,风属木,为何肝部病变反而属水?这是因为风行则水动,这是自然的道理。头风病目往往损伤瞳神,瞳神中的精膏被风气攻击,郁结日久则火气亢盛,精气液被火热击散,因此随着所受伤的脉络,停滞凝结而成疳。疳因火热停滞所致,火热兼有水化之性,水因邪气胜而不复清润,反而与湿热相搏结,从而变为漏症。所以水疳归属于肾与胆。适宜服用蠲毒饮:
防风(一钱)、赤芍药、川芎、连翘、甘草、牛蒡子(炒研各八分)。
以上药材切碎为一剂,加水两钟,煎至八分,去渣后温服。这是治疗实证(小且痛甚)的方剂。若治疗虚证(大且痛缓),则减去防风、连翘、牛蒡子,改用四物汤调理,加熟地黄、当归身各八分,煎服。
按语:此症是由眦角(眼角)结聚生疮,流出脓汁,或者像涎水一样粘着上下眼睑,不疼痛,也没有翳膜。这是由于心气不宁,导致小肠邪热逆行之故,加上风热停留在眼睑中。脓水或从疮口流出,或在大小眦孔窍流出,大多流出不止。歌诀说:“原因风热眼中停,凝结如脓似泪倾。驱毒除风无别病,黄连膏子点双睛。”
Water Gan (a type of eye growth) suddenly manifests as a single nodule. It may arise within the eyelids or on the cornea (Feng Lun). Sometimes the pain is sharp like needle pricks, radiating to the orbit and head with redness and burning pain. In other cases, there is no pain, and the shape varies in size. If the condition does not resolve, it may develop into Leaking Eye Syndrome (Lou Jing).
This condition mostly occurs between the sclera (Qi Lun) and the eyelids. If it arises on the cornea (Feng Lun), the eye will inevitably be damaged. There are two types: excess and deficiency. The excess type presents as small lesions with severe pain, while the deficiency type presents as larger lesions with mild pain.
The appearance resembles a black soybean, though some are elongated and round. It resembles Wood Gan but differs slightly in location and color. Black corresponds to Water, while green, blue, and azure correspond to Wood. If left untreated for a long time, it transforms into Head Wind (Lou Tou Feng). People often suffer from this. Although Wind belongs to Wood, why does a liver-related pathology belong to Water? This is because when Wind moves, Water moves; this is natural law. Head wind affecting the eyes often damages the pupil spirit (Tong Shen). The essence and fluid of the pupil spirit are attacked by wind, leading to stagnation and excessive Fire over time. The essence and fluid are scattered by the Fire, causing them to stagnate and knot along the damaged meridians, forming Gan. Gan is caused by Fire stagnation; Fire incorporates the transformation of Water. When Water is overcome by pathogenic factors, it loses its clear and moistening properties and instead struggles with Damp-Heat, transforming into Leak (Lou). Therefore, Water Gan is attributed to the Kidney and Gallbladder. The appropriate prescription is Juandu Yin:
Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix, 1 qian), Chishao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra), Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructus), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Niubangzi (Arctii Fructus, stir-fried and ground, each 8 fen).
Crush these ingredients into one dose. Add two zhong of plain water, decoct until reduced to eight fen, remove the dregs, and take warm. This formula is for treating the excess type (small and severely painful). For the deficiency type (large and mildly painful), remove Fangfeng, Lianqiao, and Niubangzi, and treat with Siwu Tang (Four Substance Decoction), adding Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata) and Dangguishen (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) each at 8 fen, decoct and take.
Note: This condition arises from sores forming at the canthus (corner of the eye), discharging pus, or resembling saliva that sticks to the upper and lower eyelids. It is painless and lacks pannus (Yi Mo). This is due to restless Heart Qi causing rebellious pathogenic Heat from the Small Intestine, combined with Wind-Heat lingering in the eyelids. Pus and fluid may discharge from the sore or from the puncta (canalicular openings), often flowing continuously. The verse states: "Originally caused by Wind-Heat lingering in the eyes, condensing like pus and pouring like tears. To expel toxins and dispel wind without other diseases, apply Huanglian Gao (Coptis Ointment) to both eyes."
