There is no doubt that the intraocular contents are the vitals in generating visual activities, and as times goes on, intraocular diseases (Nei zhang) have become the very factors which most frequently induce blindness-producing and intractable damage. Unfortunately, information concerning inner eye has been seldom discussed due to the limited ophthalmic workup in ancient, which makes a frustrating situation clinically as far as the theory is concerned.To satisfy clinical demands, the relationship between structures and functions have been investigated based on the changes of color and figuration of intraocular contents in normality in the light of the theory of Zang and Orifice.
