Key points for diagnosis
(1) The affected eye suffers from the symptoms of slight pain, photophobia, dacryorrhea and an uncomfortable and foreign body sensation.
(2) In the bulbar conjunctiva occurs a local projecting nodule which is round, grayish red, 1 to 4mm in diameter and with local congestion around. When the tip of the nodule is necrotic and deciduous in 2 to 4 days, ulcer is formed, which often heals naturally in 8 to 10 days with no scar left.
(3) The lesion usually starts in the palpebral fissure with one nodule in most cases and two or more in a severe case.

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.
