Translation

Treats wind heat toxic qi attacking upward with both eyes swollen and painful, or a screen and membrane breeding, or red vessels and proud flesh with roughness, itching and dim flowering vision gradually becoming an internal obstruction.

Cut up as one packet, add five slices of ginger, and decoct in water. — Seui Deukhyobang 得效 (Donguibogam · An)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The two cassias again, this time as a decoction with ginger, and the indication traces a whole course of disease — swelling, then a screen, then vessels and proud flesh, and at last an internal obstruction. That the Deukhyobang offers one formula for all of it is the chapter's habit; what is useful is the sequence itself, which is how an untreated keratitis actually goes. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
