Abstract:
This paper summarized PENG Qinghua's experience in treating age-related dry eye based on the theory of ministerial fire. Guided by the theory of ministerial fire， it is believed that the key pathogenesis of age-related dry eye is transgression of ministerial fire， and kidney yang deficiency-cold， kidney yin depletion， and spleen-earth insufficiency are the causes of transgression of ministerial fire. The general principle of treatment is to conceal the ministerial fire. For kidney yang deficiency-cold and floating ministerial fire， the treatment should tonify the kidney and warm yang， and return fire to its origin， with Yin Huo Decoction （引火汤）； for kidney yin depletion and frenetic stirring of ministerial fire， the treatment should tonify the kidney and supplement essence， enrich yin and reduce fire， with Sancai Fengsui Pellet （三才封髓丹）； and for spleen-earth insufficiency， and fumigation of ministerial fire， the treatment should strengthen and activate spleen qi， and reinforce soil and hidden fire， with Renshen Huangqi Decoction （人参黄芪汤）.
