According to *Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun* (General Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Symptoms of All Diseases) regarding infantile nyctalopia: Some individuals have clear vision during the day but cannot see objects at dusk, a condition known as Nyctalopia (Bird's Eye). This is likened to birds or sparrows, which are unable to see anything when it gets dark.
*Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang* (Imperial Grace Formulas of the Taiping Era) treats infantile nyctalopia, characterized by inability to see in the evening, with the formula **Yeming Sha San** (Night-Bright Sand Powder):
* Yeming Sha (Cacumen Phoenicis, slightly stir-fried)
* Jiang Shi (Jiangshi, crushed, finely ground, water-floating; each half liang)
* Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma)
* Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix; each one qian)
Crush the above ingredients, sieve them finely to make a powder, and grind uniformly. Take one qian per dose. Use half a sheep liver, two hundred grains of Setaria italica (millet), and one zhong zhan of water. Boil until the millet is cooked, remove the liver, let it cool, and take it gradually. For older children, consume the liver as well.
*Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang* also provides the formula **Zhugan Shijueming San** (Boiled Liver with Argo Shell Powder) for treating infantile nyctalopia and phthisis eyes:
* Shijueming (Concha Haliotidis, finely ground)
* Jingquanshi (Jingquanshi)
* Gafen (Shell Powder)
* Gujingcao (Eriocauli Flos; each half liang)
Crush the above ingredients, sieve finely to make a powder. Take one qian per dose. Take one sheep liver, split it open, insert the powdered medicine inside, cook it in one zhong zhan of rice wash water, and administer on an empty stomach. Adjust the dosage according to the child's size.
*Tai Ping Shui Fang* offers the formula **Xianlingpi Fang** for infantile nyctalopia, where vision fails at dusk:
* Xianlingpi Gen (Epimedii Radix et Caulis root)
* Wancan'e (Bombyx Batryticatus, slightly stir-fried; each half liang)
* Shegan (Belamcandae Rhizoma)
* Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, honey-fried until slightly red, chopped; each one qian)
Crush the above ingredients, sieve finely to make a powder. Take one sheep liver, cut it open, sprinkle two qian of medicine inside, tie it securely with thread, add one he of black soybeans and one da zhan of rice wash water, and boil until cooked. Remove and divide into three doses, taking them with the decoction juice.
