《龙木论》治小儿疳眼外障。此眼初患时皆因脑头上有疮。或因经日多时泻痢,
潜冲疼痛,泪出难开,膈间伏热气,肝风入眼。初患此疳时痒涩,揉眉咬甲,致令
翳生,赤肿疼痛,泪出难开,睑硬,白睛遮瞒,怕日合面卧,不喜抬头。此疾
不宜烧灸头面,恐损眼也,切忌点药,宜服杀疳散、退翳丸。《圣惠》论∶夫肝开
窍于目,目者肝之候,若小儿内有疳气,肌体瘦羸,而脏腑挟于风热,壅滞不得宣
通,因其乳食过多,胸膈痰结,邪热之气上攻于目,则令脑热目痒,或赤烂生疮,
或生障翳,渐渐遮睛,久而不瘥,损于眼目,故号眼疳也。《玉诀》云∶此患先与
凉膈,后泻肝,次淋洗之,即无误也。又云∶此患小儿肝热,宜泻肝散、蕤仁膏、
凉膈退热。又云∶小儿疳眼雀目,斑疮入眼者,先与利膈退热凉心经,后与疳药也。

《龙木论》论述治疗小儿疳眼外障。这种眼病初发时,都是因为头部有疮疡。或者因为长期腹泻痢疾,邪气潜行冲逆导致疼痛,流泪且难以睁开眼睑,膈间伏藏热气,肝风侵入眼部。初次患此疳病时,眼睛感到痒涩,揉搓眉毛、咬指甲,致使翳膜生成,眼睛红肿胀痛,流泪难开,眼睑僵硬,白睛被遮蔽,怕光而侧卧脸朝下,不喜欢抬头。此病不适宜在头面部烧灼艾灸,恐怕损伤眼睛,切忌点涂眼药,适宜服用杀疳散、退翳丸。
《圣惠方》论述:肝脏开窍于目,眼睛是肝脏的外候,如果小儿体内有疳气,肌体消瘦羸弱,而脏腑夹杂风热,壅滞不得宣通,因为乳食过多,胸膈痰结,邪热之气上攻于目,则导致头脑发热、眼睛瘙痒,或者红肿溃烂生疮,或者生成障翳,渐渐遮蔽瞳孔,久治不愈,损伤眼目,所以称为眼疳。
《玉诀》说:此病患先给予凉膈(清泄膈间郁热),后泻肝(清泻肝火),其次进行淋洗,就不会有误。又说:此病患小儿肝热,适宜用泻肝散、蕤仁膏、凉膈退热法。又说:小儿疳眼雀盲(夜盲症)、斑疮入眼的,先给予利膈退热、清心经的方法,后再给予治疳的药物。

*Longmu Lun* discusses the treatment of pediatric gan-eye external obstruction. When this eye disease first occurs, it is all due to sores on the head or face. Or because of prolonged diarrhea and dysentery, pathogenic qi secretly rushes upward causing pain, with tearing and difficulty opening the eyelids; latent heat in the diaphragm and liver wind invading the eyes. Initially suffering from this gan condition, the eyes feel itchy and astringent, leading to rubbing of the eyebrows and biting of nails, resulting in the formation of nebula (corneal opacity). The eyes become red, swollen, painful, with tearing and difficulty opening, stiff eyelids, white sclera covered, aversion to light causing the child to lie face down, disliking to lift the head. This disease should not be treated with cauterization or moxibustion on the head and face, as it may damage the eyes; applying eye drops is strictly contraindicated. It is suitable to administer Shagan San (Kill Gan Powder) and Tuiyi Wan (Remove Nebula Pill).
*Shenghui Fang* states: The Liver opens into the eyes, and the eyes are the manifestation of the Liver. If a child has internal gan qi, emaciated body, and the zang-fu organs are constrained by wind-heat, causing stagnation without free circulation, due to excessive milk and food intake, phlegm knotting in the chest and diaphragm, pathogenic heat attacking the eyes from above, it causes brain heat and itchy eyes, or redness, ulceration, and sores, or generation of obstructions and nebulae, gradually covering the pupil.
