Abstract：Professor ZHANG Fengmei analyzes the occurrence and development of myopia in children and adolescents from the perspective of the theory that prolonged vision impairs blood.She believes that the abundance of qi and blood is closely related to the heart,liver,kidney,spleen,and stomach.Prolonged vision tends to damage the spleen,stomach,heart,liver,and kidney,leading to blood deficiency in the viscera.Blood deficiency causes qi stagnation,and the eyes lose the nourishment of essence and blood,thus resulting in myopia.Therefore,in treating myopia in children and adolescents,she begins by identifying which organ is deficient and then adjusts the qi and blood functions of the organs.For those with spleen and stomach deficiency,the treatment involves nourishing the spleen and stomach and replenishing qi and blood.The selected prescriptions include Yiqi Congming Decoction(益气聪明汤)and Buzhong Yiqi Decoction(补中益气汤).For those with liver and kidney insufficiency and essence and blood deficiency,the treatment focuses on nourishing essence and blood.The selected prescriptions include Qiju Dihuang Decoction/Pill(杞菊地黄汤/丸),Mingmu Dihuang Decoction(明目地黄汤),and Modified Zhujing Pill(加减驻景丸),etc.For those with heart blood consumption and yang qi deficiency,the treatment aims to tonify the heart and qi,calm the mind,and stabilize the will.The selected prescriptions include Dingzhi Pill(定志丸)and Guipi Decoction(归脾汤),etc.For those with blood deficiency and qi stagnation,as well as sluggishness of the ocular collaterals,the treatment involves regulating qi and blood,promoting blood circulation,and dredging collaterals.The selected prescriptions include Danggui Huoxue Drink(当归活血饮)and Buyang Huanwu Decoction(补阳还五汤),etc.Two proved cases are attached.
