Key points for diagnosis
1. Irritated Epiphora with Cold Wind
Usually, the affected eye suffers from no redness, swelling and pain, and from no weeping, too. But lacrimation occurs when the eye encounters the cold wind. Or, irritated by the winter and early spring wind, the eye is weeping with excessive cold tears. When being washed, the lacrimal passage is perfect in function or functioning but not perfectly.

2. Constant Epiphora
The patient is always weeping all the year round and the condition is severe when meeting with wind.  With the lacrimal sac being pressed, no mucus overflows from the dacryon. The lacrimal passage, when being washed, maybe of constricture or blocked, or the eversion of the dacryon may exsist.

In TCM, a disease or a symptom might be caused by one pathogenic factor, even two or three pathogenic factors. When diagnosing a disease or a symptom, TCM doctors must follow the principle of "Syndrome Dfferentiation", and then "Suit the Remedy to the Case". In order to gain a more definite and valuable diagnosis, it's important and necessary for the doctor to learn the detailed health information of the patient, including his/her disease duration, age, sex, height, weight, family history, urine, stool, diet, sleep, sweat, energy, mood (emotion), as well as the tongue conditions and the palm conditions, etc. If you would want our expert to create a TCM diagnosis, you're welcome to contact us.
