Liver governs the eyes
肝主目 〔肝主目〕 gān zhǔ mù
The liver opens at the eyes, and its channel is connected with the eye connector. Exuberance and debilitation of the essential qì of the kidney can affect visual acuity. Liver qì flows through to the eyes; when the liver is in harmony, the eyes can distinguish the five colors.
liver fire flaming upward can manifest as red swollen eyes, whereas liver vacuity can give rise to dry eyes and unclear vision.
