Key Points for Diagnosis:
It is generally thought that the disease is caused by polygene or multiple factors. From its clinic manifestations, the disease should pertain to"Qingfeng Neizhang"(bluish glaucoma) in traditional Chinese medicine.  Its occurrence is much concerned with the factors of qi stagnation, phlegm-fire, injury from overstrain, yin deficiency and so on.  The main pathogensis of the case is due to the fact that the invasion of eye by pathogenic factor causes the circulation disorder of qi and blood and obstruction in vessel and meridian so that accumulation of the aqueous humor arises. And those who often show wind syndrome of head, phlegm-fire and deficiency of yin and blood may easily develop the disease.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, there are some patterns of syndrome that lead to ocular hypertension.
1. Syndrome of Pathogenic Fire due to Qi Stagnation
2. Syndrome of Ocular Invasion of Phlegm-fire
3. Syndrome of Wind Stirring due to Yin Deficiency

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.
