Every year, when winter and spring arrive, many older citizens or frail women experience the same ophthalmic symptom: occasional watery eyes. If there is a cold breeze blowing in front of you, then it is a tearing in the wind. The physiological phenomenon is that the lacrimal glands secrete tears, which are collected in the lacrimal ducts through the tear dots and eventually flow into the nasal cavity through the tear sac. If the tear dots are abnormally located, the tear ducts are narrowed or blocked, and the tear ducts are not functioning properly, the phenomenon of lacrimation may occur. The first step is to determine if there is a blockage in these physiological channels, which we can find out through a lacrimal duct irrigation. If there is a blockage, then the first step is to address the cause of the blockage and seek medical treatment. If the physiological channels are clear and the patient still has occasional tearing, this is the lacrimation that often occurs in winter and spring. The modern medical explanation is as follows: the low temperature in winter and spring, cold wind invasion, located in the inner canthus of the upper and lower tear dots due to the drop in temperature, resulting in tear dots contraction, tears can not pass through the normal tear ducts, and flow to the face. Awareness of Chinese ophthalmology First of all, most of this phenomenon occurs in the middle-aged and elderly population over 40 years old, why are people in this age group prone to symptoms? We cited the scriptures and based on the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine’s understanding of human growth and development, it is believed that at the age of 35 for women and 40 for men, the body’s functions begin to decline. “This is the “deficiency” phenomenon that occurs when the body’s function decreases. Ancient Chinese medicine believes that “if the dirty qi is insufficient, it can not collect its liquid, so the eye natural tears”, “for liver deficiency wind is moving tears, so the wind tears”. Young people are in the period of growth and development, all aspects of the body function well, so this phenomenon will not occur. Secondly, why is it easy to appear in winter and spring? Chinese medicine believes that “cold is the main attraction”, look at the water, originally flowing, liquid, after the “cold is the main attraction” effect, into a solid, cold, solid ice. Chinese and Western medicine believe that the phenomenon of tears in winter and spring is similar, the mechanism is similar, but there are only differences in the method of understanding. Since the symptoms are uncomfortable, how to relieve them is the concern of most patients. First of all, the direct cause of this phenomenon is the decline of the body functions of the elderly, and according to Chinese medicine, the liver is open to the eyes, and the deficiency of liver qi and blood, liver and kidney leads to the appearance of tears. At present, modern medicine does not have a particularly good treatment for this condition. However, Chinese ophthalmology has good measures to improve this deficiency. For older adults with mild symptoms, strengthening the body or massaging the eye acupuncture points can help improve tearing symptoms. Elderly people who work outdoors for a long time, or often ride bicycles, can wear goggles to reduce the stimulation of cold wind on the eyes. According to the clinical evidence, Qiju Dihuang Wan and Yin and Kidney tablets can be taken orally. For the elderly who do not alleviate long-term symptoms, or annual recurrence, can go to the hospital, what is the prevention before the disease? Lachrymation already suggests that the body is not functioning well enough. At this time, try herbal soup treatment through TCM diagnosis and treatment, which will be very beneficial not only for improving the symptoms but also for the whole body conditioning.
