3 Overview
Red vessel spreading to black of eye is the name of the disease[1]. See "Silver Sea Essence". Also known as red veins invading the eyes [1]. It refers to an eye disease characterized by red veins originating from the two canthus and traveling to the black eyes [2]. "Yinhai Jingwei" further divides it: those starting from the big canthus are called the big canthus red veins passing the eye; those starting from the small canthus are called the small canthus red veins passing the eye. Usually, the two canthus arise at the same time, and both eyes have the same disease.
Red Vein Transmission is similar to canthal conjunctivitis in Western medicine. 4 The etiology and pathogenesis of red veins spreading to the eye
"Yinhai Jingwei": "The symptoms of red veins spreading to the eyes originate from the great canthus, which is caused by the heart. This heart evil invades the liver. The heart belongs to Fire governs the blood, and the liver belongs to wood, which governs the tendons. The tendons are filled with blood, and the eyes gradually become black, and the eyes may even see things as if they are separated by silk. This may be due to excessive mental work, reading history at night, or inability to see things. "Drinking alcohol, and eating five pungent fried hot foods," "Yinhai Jingwei" also records: "Those who have red veins in the small canthus passing through the eyes have a weak heart...mostly due to being near lights at night, straining the heart and menstruation, resulting in a weak heart. Weak, poor blood circulation, accumulated between the canthus. ”
The red vein passing through the eyes is mostly caused by excessive heart fire, accumulated heat in the three burners, or insufficient heart yin and kidney water deficiency [1].
1. If you indulge in five pungents, the spleen and stomach accumulate heat, or the liver stagnation turns into fire, which invades the heart, the heart meridian accumulates heat and stagnates in the two canthus, causing the disease.
2. Looking too hard, or overdoing it, the heart is dark and exhausted, the deficiency fire is inflamed, and it is blocked in the canthus veins. 5 Symptoms of red veins spreading to the eye
At the beginning of red veins spreading to the eyes, the patient feels itchy at the canthus, the skin at the canthus is red, and the red veins are in the shape of many subdivided branches, emanating from the canthus and traveling along the way. White eyes can even extend to black eyes[1].
Since it rarely causes black eye disease, it generally does not affect vision. 6 Diagnosis of red veins passing through the eyes
1. The subjective symptoms are mild, only itching and discomfort in the eyes, but the vision is not affected.
2. The canthus is white and slightly red, with horizontal red veins. 7 Diseases that need to be differentiated from red veins spreading to the eye
Red veins spreading to the eye should be differentiated from pterygium spreading to the eye.
The fleshy skin often appears on the big canthus. At first, there are clusters of red veins in the big canthus. Then, the fleshy skin appears in a triangular shape, like a wing, running across the white eye, and finally it clings to the black eye. 8 Treatment of red veins passing through the eye 8.1 Syndrome differentiation treatment
In terms of syndrome differentiation, it is mainly caused by heat. Deficiency and authenticity should be distinguished based on the color, thickness, number, and concurrent symptoms of the red veins. Generally, red and thick veins, itching, stinging, dryness, tearing, and hotness are symptoms [1]. If the veins are light red, slightly itchy but not painful, it is generally due to deficiency [1].
