第五十四问:孕妇眼睛昏花,是什么原因?
答:这是因为血液不能滋养眼睛。妊娠期间,血液主要用来滋养胞胎,不能充分滋养肝脏,导致肝气虚弱匮乏,所以出现眼睛昏花。适宜服用茯苓补肝散、虚消散、椒红丸。
第五十五问:产后眼睛昏花,是什么原因?
答:这是因为产后失血过多,营气和卫气都虚弱,神光(视力功能)随之匮乏,所以出现眼睛昏花。适宜服用菊花散、人参椒红丸、当归活血煎、四物汤。
第五十六问:小儿出生后,未满周岁,双眼红肿溃烂,是什么原因?
答:这是胎毒所致。小儿在出生前,秽浊之气凝结在两目眼睑之间,出生后,洗浴擦拭不干净,残留于眼内,又受到风邪侵袭,所以导致双眼红肿溃烂。适宜服用黄连散、桦皮南星汤。
第五十七问:小儿疮疹侵入眼内,是什么原因?
Question 54: What is the cause of blurred vision in pregnant women?
Answer: This is due to blood failing to nourish the eyes. During pregnancy, blood is primarily used to nourish the fetus and does not adequately nourish the Liver (Zang organ associated with vision). Consequently, Liver Qi becomes deficient and weak, leading to blurred vision. It is appropriate to administer Fuling Bulgan San (Poria Decoction for Nourishing the Liver), Xuxiao San (Deficiency-Dispelling Powder), or Jiaohong Wan (Red Pepper Pill).
Question 55: What is the cause of blurred vision after childbirth?
Answer: This results from excessive blood loss postpartum, causing both Ying (Nutritive Qi) and Wei (Defensive Qi) to become deficient. The Shen Guang (spiritual light/vision function) thereby becomes depleted, leading to blurred vision. It is appropriate to administer Juhua San (Chrysanthemum Powder), Renshen Jiaohong Wan (Ginseng and Red Pepper Pill), Danggui Huoxue Jian (Angelica Sinensis Blood-Invigorating Decoction), or Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction).
Question 56: What is the cause of redness and ulceration of both eyes in infants under one year of age?
Answer: This is caused by fetal toxins. Before birth, turbid pathogens condense between the eyelids of the eyes. After birth, if bathing and wiping are not thorough, residues remain inside the eyes. Combined with invasion by Wind pathogenic factors, this leads to redness and ulceration of both eyes. It is appropriate to administer Huanglian San (Coptis Powder) or Huapi Nanxing Tang (Birch Bark and Acorus Decoction).
Question 57: What is the cause of chickenpox/rash invading the eyes in children?
