Translation

Treats cold tearing and dim flowering vision in the aged. Prepared rehmannia and dried raw rehmannia 4 nyang each; dendrobium, chrysanthemum, saposhnikovia and bitter orange 1 nyang each; achyranthes 7 don 5 pun; apricot kernel 5 don. Powder them, make honey pills the size of parasol-tree seeds, and take fifty to seventy on an empty stomach with warm wine or salt decoction. — Seui Deukhyobang 得效 (Donguibogam · An)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Eight nyang of rehmannia against three of everything else — the heaviest enriching in the chapter, for an old eye that waters. Apricot kernel at five don is the one surprise and is there for the lung, since the tearing is held to run from the lung's failure to hold the fluids above. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
