The relationship between the liver and the eyes

The liver is more closely related to the eyes. Chinese medicine says that the liver governs the eyes, and lesions of the liver can affect the color of the eyes as well as changes in vision. If a patient has obstructive jaundice, which manifests as yellow staining of the skin as well as the sclera, it can be detected by the naked eye if the patient’s bilirubin exceeds 34.2 μmol/L. For some patients with poor liver function, especially for those with hepatitis B or cirrhosis, it manifests as dark skin around the patient’s eyes with dark circles. For some patients with poor liver function and low synthesis of vitamin A, this can lead to blurred vision as well as visual impairment. If the patient’s liver function is normal, he or she can take Mingmu Dihuang Pills and Qiju Dihuang Pills orally in appropriate amounts for active treatment. As long as the liver function improves, the patient’s vision and eye discomfort will also improve significantly.
