【总论】眼病的症状虽然号称有七十二种,但大致规律是:眼睛发红属于热证,发白属于寒证,瘙痒属于风邪作祟,干涩则是毒瓦斯(致病邪气)在体内作用的结果。对于风邪引起的,应当用疏散风邪的方法治疗;对于热邪引起的,应当用清凉法治疗;对于寒邪引起的,应当用温补法治疗;对于气机郁结的,应当调理顺气。千万不可使用刀针切割或点刺,即使偶尔获得轻微好转,也只是侥幸成功。倘若处理不当,可能会造成终身的祸患。另外,也不宜过度使用寒凉药物,恐怕会使血液凝滞如冰,导致血流不畅,从而形成顽固性疾病。治疗时应当根据患者的年龄、体质虚实来辨证施治。又有肾虚的患者,也会导致眼神无光,或者生出生翳障,应当温补下焦元气,滋养肾水,病自然会痊愈。儿童患眼病,多属实证而无虚证,多为热证而无寒证,切勿使用吹药(将药物吹入鼻腔或眼部),恐怕血气尚未稳定,会损伤眼睛。适宜用解毒败毒的药物进行治疗。(凡是患有眼病的人,切忌洗澡,否则会导致失明;犯房事的人必定会生出内障。)
【目疾通治方】荆芥、羌活、甘草、甘菊、防风、藁本、黄芩(酒炒)、当归、山栀、赤芍、白芷、乳香、没药(各一钱)、全蝎(三个)。用水煎煮,空腹服用。眼病初起时,服用二三剂,立即见效。
【眼痛】取一个不落入水中的鸡肝,芙蓉叶(烘干研成末,二钱),肉果末(五分),龙胆草(适量)。

【迎风流泪】取一团蕲艾,燃烧冒烟熏瓷碗内壁直到呈黄色。加入一撮黄连和少许枯矾,再滴入温水碗中,用五铢钱磨匀,清洗眼睛一两次即可痊愈。如果是多年不愈的,用炉甘石(绿色的,一钱,多次使用)、海螵蛸(五分)、冰片少许,共同研磨极细,点入大眼角数次即可收敛。(注意不要使药物进入眼球内部为好。)
【烂弦风】眼眶潮湿腐烂、红肿,取二蚕砂(用真麻油浸泡二三日),取出研细涂于患处,无论新病久病,大人小孩,一两次即可痊愈,名为一抹膏。红枣二枚、明矾(二三分)、铜青(二三分)、水半钟,蒸熟后频繁涂抹即见效。
【风痒冷泪烂弦有虫】取生姜一块,插入银簪随即拔出,用银簪上的姜汁点眼内外眼角,效果很好。
【年久烂弦风眼虫痒】覆盆子叶(用手揉碎取汁),用皂纱蒙住眼睛,取笔画出眼眶轮廓在纱上,然后滴药汁先浸润眼下眼睑一时辰,虫子会从纱中爬出,下眼睑痊愈,几天后照前法再浸润上眼睑。(按:覆盆子治疗眼暗不见、冷泪浸淫等症状,将此草晒干,研细用绵包裹,用人乳汁浸泡一二小时,用来点眼,然后仰卧,不过三四天,视物就能像平时一样清楚。忌食油腻、酒、面食。)
【烂弦倒睫】青矾(火烧去除火毒),研细泡汤澄清,点洗二三次即见效。
【眼内翳障】蕤仁(一两,去油净)、硼砂(一钱)、麝香(三分),共同研磨极细,装入瓷瓶内,临用时点眼,以效果好为标准,神效。如果有赤筋缠绕瞳仁,用白丁香(研极细),用初生男儿的胎乳调和点眼。食盐(取雪白的,生研如尘),用粗灯草蘸少许盐,轻手固定住浮翳,点上三次即消失,也不疼痛。内服方:夜明砂、当归、蝉蜕、木贼(去节,一两),共为末,用黑羊肝(四两),水煮烂后和药末做成丸剂,如梧桐子大,每次服用四五十丸,饭后用温汤送下。服用百日后,视力恢复如初,都是仙家传授的方子。
【一切云翳雾膜遮睛】鹅不食草研烂塞入鼻中,频频更换,不时自己搐动鼻子,五天可以复明。也用于治疗红眼病。雀粪(细小的),与人乳调和敷在眼睛上,并治疗赤脉贯瞳仁及胬肉攀睛、青盲眼,点之极效。猪胆皮晒干,搓成两股绳粗细,烧灰去除火毒,点之也有效。
【目中风翳作痛】取薤白截断安放在膜上,一会儿去掉,数次后疼痛停止,膜去除。(按:薤白味辛,能散血行气,所以可以去膜。)
【青盲不见】小青草晒干为末,每天取一块不落入水中的猪肝,加入草末五钱,用无灰酒同煮,单吃猪肝,吃饱时服用半个月,即见效。诸葛菜子六升,蒸到热气遍透后取下,用锅中的热汤淋洗,然后晒干再淋,再晒,重复三次,杵为末,饱腹时用清酒服用二三钱,每天两次,并治疗虚劳导致的目暗、冷泪、眼障,十人能愈九人。
【青盲雀目】雀目即鸡盲,到了晚上看不见东西。谷精草(一两)、羊肝一只,不要接触铁器,放入瓦罐内,加水煮熟,吃羊肝,以效果好为标准。(小儿同治,如果小儿不肯吃,则焙干做成丸剂。)石决明(入炭火煅存性)、夜明砂(淘净,在瓦上炙黄,各二钱)、谷精草(二钱),共为细末,取一块不落入水的猪肝,用竹刀切成两片,将药末夹在内,用麻皮捆缚,在一碗米泔水中放入瓦罐,煮至剩半碗,睡前连肝带汁喝下,以效果好为标准。
【拳毛倒睫】木鳖子(一个,去壳为末),用绵包裹塞入鼻中,左眼病塞右鼻,右眼病塞左鼻,即见效。先拔去睫毛,后用石燕子(一雌一雄),磨水频繁涂抹,再用黄连汁频繁清洗,则不再长出。内服方:黄连(酒炒)、炙甘草、人参(各一钱)、归身(一钱半)、葛根、防风(各五分)、细辛叶、蔓荆子(各五分)。
【胬肉攀睛】浮萍草研烂,加入少许冰片,贴在眼睛上有效。白丁香,人乳调和点眼最效,并治疗面上酒刺雀斑。

[General Discussion] Although eye diseases are said to have seventy-two types, the general patterns are as follows: redness indicates Heat (Re), whiteness indicates Cold (Han), itching indicates Wind (Feng), and dryness/roughness is caused by toxic pathogens (Du Wa). For conditions caused by Wind, dispersing methods should be used; for Heat, cooling methods; for Cold, warming and tonifying methods; for Qi stagnation, regulating and smoothing methods. One must absolutely avoid using knives, needles, cutting, or puncturing. Even if slight improvement occurs occasionally, it is merely luck. If mishandled, it may lead to lifelong affliction. Furthermore, excessive use of cold-natured medicines should be avoided, lest they freeze the blood and cause stasis, leading to chronic stubborn diseases. Treatment should be based on the patient's age and constitution (deficiency or excess). Patients with Kidney deficiency may also present with dull eyesight or the formation of corneal opacities (Yi); warming the lower Yuan and nourishing Kidney Water will lead to self-recovery. Children suffering from eye diseases usually present with Excess rather than Deficiency, and Heat rather than Cold. Blowing medicines (Chui Yao) into the eyes should be avoided, as the child's Qi and Blood are not yet stable, and this might damage the eyes. It is appropriate to treat with detoxifying and anti-toxic medicines. (Those with eye diseases must strictly avoid bathing, as it can lead to blindness; engaging in sexual intercourse will inevitably cause internal cataracts.)
[Universal Formula for Eye Diseases] Jingjie (Schizonepetae Herba), Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Ganju (Chrysanthemi Flos), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Bencao (Ligustici Rhizoma et Radix), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) (stir-fried with wine), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Shanzhi (Gardeniae Fructus), Chishao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra), Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), Ruxiang (Olibanum), Moyao (Myrrha), each at 1 qian; Quanxie (Scorpio) at 3 specimens. Decoct in water and take on an empty stomach. For early-stage eye diseases, taking two or three doses yields immediate results.
[Eye Pain] Take one chicken liver that has not fallen into water, Furongye (Hibisci Mutabilis Folium) (dried and powdered, 2 qian), Rouguo powder (5 fen), Longdancao (Gentianae Radix) (appropriate amount).
[Wind-Fire Red Eye with Swelling and Pain] Take one large radish (Caitou). Cut off the top to serve as a lid, hollow out the center to form a hole. Add 3 fen of raw Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) powder inside. Replace the lid and secure it. Slow-roast until cooked, then remove. Cool the juice extracted from the radish and drip it into the eyes for cure. Take one pig gallbladder and three ancient coins. Steam them together in a cup until dry. Extract the bile and form pills the size of millet grains. Place them in the corner of the eye for effect. Internal formula: Danggui, Huangqin, Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructum), Ganju, Shanzhi, Shengdi (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata) (each 1 qian); Chishao, Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), Chuanxiong (Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Fangfeng, Longdancao, Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix) (each 8 fen); Huanglian (6 fen); Gancao (5 fen); add Dengxin (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma) 20 pieces. Decoct in water and take. Soaking feet in hot water is beneficial for red eye disease; bathing must be avoided as it leads to blindness. Strictly avoid consuming dog, chicken, fish, goose, duck, and eggs. Do not wash the face with cold water.
[Sudden Onset of Swelling and Pain] Take a piece of blue cloth, soak in water, wash clean, and dry. Prepare ginger juice and Baijian (Alumen) powder. Dip the cloth in the mixture and apply it to the eyelids. Close the eyes for a moment; tearing will occur, followed by pain relief.
[All Eye Diseases with Pain, Itching, and Blood-Wind] Take one raw sheep gallbladder, cut open, add honey, tie tightly with thread, and knead evenly. Boil in boiling water for one or two boils, then immediately remove and soak in cold water for half a day. Collect the juice from the gallbladder into a bottle for eye drops. Tearing will cease upon application. Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum) (peeled and core removed, ground), steamed in human breast milk to extract juice; dripping this into the eyes is most effective.
[Severe Pain in the Eyeball at Night] Xiakucao (Prunellae Spica) and Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma) (each 2 liang). Grind into powder. Take 1.5 qian per dose, mixed with clear tea. Effective after three to four days. (Note: Xiakucao is miraculous for treating Jueyin eye pain.)
[Eyelid Swollen like a Fist] Shuangmei (Rosa Roxburghii Trichocarpa) (3, pitted), Baiguo (Ginkgo Semen) (7, shelled), Qingtong (Bronze dust) (5 fen). Pound into a paste. Place in a porcelain vessel and soak in well water overnight. Filter through cotton paper to remove dregs. (Washing with ancient coins dipped in the filtrate is effective.)
[Excessive Tearing] Jiyu dan (Crucian carp gallbladder) (7), Renru (Human Breast Milk) (1 zhan). Mix evenly and steam thoroughly over rice. Apply to the eyes one or two times to stop tearing.
[Cold Tearing] Juhua (Chrysanthemi Flos), Mimenghua (Descurainiae Semen Lepidii et Descurainiae), Shijueming (Haliotidis Concha), Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Gancao, Muzei (Equiseti Herba), Baijili (Tribuli Fructus) (thorns removed). Grind equal parts into powder. Start with 1.2 qian per dose, gradually increasing to 2 qian. Take mixed with tea for effect. This applies to dim vision or cold tearing, taken just after waking up in the Zi hour before speaking.
[Tearing in the Wind] Take a ball of Qiai (Artemisia argyi). Burn it to produce smoke and熏 (fumigate) the inside of a porcelain bowl until yellow. Add a pinch of Huanglian and a little Kufan (Calcined Alumen). Add warm water to the bowl and grind with a five-zhu coin to mix. Wash the eyes one or two times for cure. For chronic cases lasting years, use Luganshi (Calamina) (green variety, 1 qian, used multiple times), Haipiaoxiao (Sepiae Endochoncha) (5 fen), and a little Bingpian (Borneolum Syntheticum). Grind extremely fine and apply to the outer canthus several times to resolve. (Care must be taken not to let the medicine enter the eyeball.)
[Rotten Margins / Blepharitis] When the eye margins are wet, rotten, red, and swollen, take Er cansha (Mulberry silkworm feces soaked in true sesame oil for 2-3 days), remove, grind finely, and apply to the affected area. Whether new or old, adult or child, one or two applications yield cure. Named "Yi Mo Gao". Two red dates, Mingfan (Alumen) (2-3 fen), Tongqing (Malachite) (2-3 fen), half a zhong of water. Steam until cooked and apply frequently for effect.
[Wind Itch, Cold Tearing, Rotten Margins with Parasites] Take a piece of fresh ginger. Insert a silver hairpin and pull it out immediately. Use the ginger juice on the hairpin to drop into the inner and outer corners of the eyes for great effect.
[Chronic Rotten Margins, Wind-Eye, Parasite Itch] Crush Fupenziye (Rubi Cauliculus) leaves by hand to extract juice. Cover the eye with gauze treated with soap. Draw the outline of the eye orbit on the gauze. Then drip the medicinal juice to soak the lower eyelid margin for one shichen (two hours). Parasites will emerge from the gauze, and the lower margin heals. After a few days, repeat the method for the upper margin. (Note: Fupenzi treats dim vision, cold tearing, etc. Dry the herb, grind fine, wrap in cotton, soak in human breast milk for 1-2 hours, and use for eye drops. Lie supine. Within 3-4 days, vision returns to normal. Avoid oily foods, alcohol, and wheat products.)
[Rotten Margins with Inverted Cilia] Qingfan (Green Alum) (fire-treated to remove toxicity), grind fine, dissolve in water, clarify. Drip and wash 2-3 times for effect.
[Internal Corneal Opacity] Ruiren (Buckwheat Seed) (1 liang, oil removed), Pengsha (Borax) (1 qian), Shexiang (Moschus) (3 fen). Grind extremely fine and store in a porcelain bottle. Apply to the eyes as needed. Highly effective.
