Modified Redness-Relieving Powder，From *Zhang Jiachun’s Diagnosis and Treatment of Ophthalmic Disorders*.，Early-stage prolapse of the red membrane: a thin, opaque membrane originating from the upper part of the sclera, with red filaments extending from it; it gradually thickens and enlarges, invading the limbus and even obscuring the pupil, thereby affecting vision. At the end of the red vessels along the periphery, several yellow or white, plump, and thick “star-like opacities” often appear, resembling fine grains of congealed fat. This is often accompanied by symptoms such as headache, blurred vision, and a sensation of soreness and dryness making it difficult to open the eyes.
