Question
The patient describes the upper part of the eye ball turning grey, with several grey rings around the entire black eye ball edge. Upon opening the upper eyelid, a large area of greyness is observed. What were the previous treatment situations and outcomes, how severe is it, and what treatment methods are available?
Answer
This phenomenon may first be due to a thin wall of the white of the eye, which allows the choroid behind to show through. If there are no discomfort symptoms, treatment is usually not necessary. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, the eyes are connected to the liver. It could be due to liver qi stagnation, blood stasis, or excessive liver fire, leading to liver dysfunction. It is recommended to check liver function at a hospital and consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for herbal treatment.
