The book “Mujing Dacheng” says: cataract refers to the disease characterized by blindness without diseases, and cataract over the intraocular fluid in the pupils. The book “Treatise on Seventy-two Recipes of Michuan Yanke Longmu Lun” says: in terms of cataract, patients with early stage of illness appear myiodesopsia, and have a blurred vision as covered by smoke, which is gradually aggravated, neither pain nor itching, and finally become blind. Also says: manifestations of cataract are like the water frozen on the eyes, with the pupils overshadowed by the white surface nebula. It suggests that the primary symptoms of cataract are while nebula covering the pupils, and blurred vision and even blindness.
The book “Chapter Two of Michuan Yanke Longmu Lun” says: in terms of glaucoma, patients with early stage of illness appear migraine in the head and forehead, and also palpebral and nasofrontal bone pain, and have ophthalmodynia and blurred vision. The disease often attacks in one eye at first, after vomiting and nausea, or hiccup. It suggests that the manifestations of glaucoma include blurred vision, headache, ophthalmodynia, vomiting and nausea, and the disease often attack in one eye at first.
The pathogenesis of diabetes mainly lies in the deficiency of Yin and body fluid and the excess of dry heat. Yin deficiency is the root cause while dry heat is the symptom, which are reciprocal causation. The deficiency of Yin increases the excess of dry heat, and the excess of dry heat increases the deficiency of Yin. If diabetes lasts for a long time, dry heat evil will damage the blood vessels in the eyes, which become abnormal. Yin deficiency, dry heat, and blood stasis, as well as Qi deficiency, are the main pathogenesis of diabetic eye diseases.
Myopia is often caused due to improper use of eyes at work or during study of teenagers, or an inadequate natural endowment or congenital genetic cause. The pathogenesis of the disease is mainly deficiency of heart Yang, and vision is unable to reach far; or the pathogenesis of the disease may be the liver and kidney deficiency and insufficient blood, which cause poor vision that is unable to reach far. This prescription is designed for the head and eyes with insufficient blood and essence support due to the deficiency of liver and kidney caused by deficiency of congenital endowment, or for the eyes with insufficient blood and Qi support due to exhaustion of Qi and blood caused by overuse of eyes during use of electronic devices by teenagers.
In the prescription, senecionis scandentis herba, natural borneolum (dextral borneolum), and scrophulariae Radix are used as monarch drug; therein senecionis scandentis herba, which is bitter in taste and cold in nature, with the effect of clearing heat and detoxification, removing pathogenic heat from blood, and relieving swelling, clearing liver and improving vision, is a commonly used Chinese herb in ophthalmology to treat wind-fire red eye and nebula. The book “Baicao Jing” says: senecionis scandentis herba treats blurred vision, redness and cataract, and lacrimation induced by irritation of the wind. Scrophulariae Radix are able to clear heat and cool blood, nourish Yin and reduce fire, which is good at treating dry and blurred eyes. The book “Sheng Nong's herbal classic” says: scrophulariae Radix are able to tonify kidney Qi and improve vision. The book “Intergrating Chinese and Western Medicine” says: further explains that why scrophulariae Radix are able to improve the vision is because that the liver acts on the eyes, and the scrophulariae Radix are able to nourish the liver, so to clear the eyes and improve the vision. Moreover, eyes are able to see things is due to the sufficient fluid in the pupils which is the appearance of the kidney essence. Natural borneolum (dextral borneolum) is spicy in taste and fragrant in nature, which is able to unblock the apertures in the human head and remove heat, remove cataract and improve vision, relieve swelling and pain. The book “Bencao Jingshu” says: eyes with redness is caused by heat-evil; and borneolum is spicy in taste and warm in nature, with dispersing actions, able to lead the elimination of fire and heat Qi, resulting in improvement of vision, and elimination of redness, pain and nebula in eyes, which is good at treating various internal and external obstacles. The book “Haiyao Bencao” says: the major function of borneolum is to treat internal and external obstacles and improve vision. So, the combination of the three drugs is able to increase the curative effects of removing heat from blood, nourishing Yin and improving vision.
The liver opens at the eyes. Bovis Calculus sativus, bitter in taste and cool in nature, enters into the heart and liver meridian, is able to cool the liver and relieve wind, and clear heat and detoxification. There is a common saying that the itching is caused by the wind-evil, and to treat wind-evil one should treat blood at first, so the wind would be eliminated if blood moves smooth. Therefore, Carthami flos and motherwort fruit are added to promote circulation, wherein Carthami flos is able to harmonize the blood and relieve pain, and motherwort fruit, which is able to dispel wind-evil, clear heat-evil, tonify essence and improve vision; The book “Sheng Nong's herbal classic” says: Carthami flos is able to treat redness, swelling, pain and nebula in eyes, the two drugs are used as minister drug.
