"Changle!"
Sun Simiao couldn't help but be stunned. Princess Changle had been studying medicine in the Women's Medical College, and Sun Simiao had taught her like a personal disciple. It could be said that he attached great importance to her, but he didn't notice that Changle had unknowingly become nearsighted.
"This student's eyesight has been deteriorating rapidly for the past few months, and I can't see things clearly. I've been hiding it from you, teacher. Please forgive me." Princess Changle lowered her head and said.
Empress Zhangsun said with heartache, "Changle has been studying medical books day and night for the sake of my condition. In just half a year, her eyes have been damaged."
Sun Simiao nodded. In the Women's Medical College, Princess Changle was indeed the most hardworking, and her academic results had always been among the best. It was indeed the cause of her nearsightedness that Meton had mentioned.
Li Shimin glared hatefully at Meton. If it weren't for Meton advocating that he was filial to his mother and studying medicine, Changle wouldn't have entered the Medical College.
Meton immediately shrank his head guiltily.
Hua Yuan finally understood why Li Shimin had specifically asked Meton to come forward after inviting the two of them. Furthermore, when he thought of the rumors about Meton and Princess Changle, he was afraid that the two of them were medical apprentices, and the real doctor was Meton.
"Ahem!" Hua Yuan coughed dryly and said, "Meton, since you know the cause of her nearsightedness, why don't you treat Princess Changle?"
"Yes, sir!" Moton nodded in response, and walked forward.
Meton wasn't a doctor, and only knew a little about medicine. Of course, no one would care about this at the moment. After all, only Meton, who could conquer reading glasses, might know how to cure her nearsightedness. Only Li Shimin stared at Meton like he was guarding against a thief.
"Raise your head and let me see your eyes!" Meton said.
Princess Changle blushed when she heard this, but she still raised her head to look at Meton. However, when she looked at Meton, her eyes narrowed slightly.
Meton frowned slightly. If he couldn't see clearly at such a close distance, his myopia must be very serious.
Morton lowered his head and asked for a large piece of rice paper. On it, he scribbled lines of "Chi (? The first line only had one character, which was abnormally large. She used a thick black brush to redraw it a few times. The last line's character was already as small as a sesame seed. Moreover, each character was different, up and down, left and right.
That's right, Meton wanted to make a visual acuity chart that was commonly seen in the future.
"This is a visual acuity chart made by the Minister. The better the visual acuity, the smaller the character," Meton explained.
Hua Yuan and Sun Simiao nodded their heads when they saw this. This method was indeed a good way to test one's visual acuity. The two of them nodded inwardly. With this, the Mo Hospital would definitely have another method to test one's visual acuity.
Morton placed a simple visual acuity chart five steps away. He pointed at a swastika on the fourth row from the bottom and asked, "Princess, can you see which direction this swastika is facing?"
Although Princess Changle tried her best to open her eyes, she could only see a blur.
Li Shimin's heart sank. From his position, he could clearly see that the character was facing down.
Meton sighed in his heart. As expected, this was normal vision. Princess Changle's eyes really had a problem.
"Then what about this?"
Meton pointed at the next line, a bigger character. Unfortunately, to Princess Changle, it was still a blur.
Meton pointed at a few more lines, but Princess Changle was still the same. It was not until the fourth line that Princess Changle could barely distinguish the direction of the character.
Meton's heart sank. This was probably close to 500 degrees of myopia in the future.
"Your Majesty, Princess Changle's visual acuity is probably only one-fifth of a normal person's," Meton said solemnly.
Li Shimin's expression suddenly changed. He said, "Is there any way to remedy this?"
Meton nodded and said, "Princess Changle's visual acuity deteriorates rapidly in a short period of time. If the right method is used, although she can't completely recover, at least it won't affect her normal movements.
"That's good. Does she need to take any medicine?" Empress Zhangsun asked anxiously.
Meton shook his head. Although there were eye drops in the future, he couldn't make them in a short period of time.
Meton turned to Princess Changle and asked, "Myopia is caused by excessive use of the eyes. If you want to recover, you must let the eyes relax. Princess has studied in the medical school for nearly a year. Do you know which acupuncture points are around the eyes?"
Princess Changle blurted out without hesitation, "Around the eyes, there are Quan Zhu, Tian Ying, Qing Ming, Si Bai, Feng Chi, and Tai Yang.
Hearing this, Sun Simiao immediately revealed a satisfied expression. Princess Changle was indeed the student that he was most proud of. Her talent in medicine was indeed extraordinary.
Meton nodded and said, "Since that's the case, can Princess try to use a medical massage technique to soothe these acupuncture points and see if it can slightly reduce the symptoms of myopia?"
Princess Changle did as she was told. She continuously massaged these acupuncture points several times. When she opened her eyes and looked at everyone, she couldn't help but be surprised and said, "It really works."
Everyone was relieved when they heard this. Even Li Shimin's face showed a trace of a smile. Meton was relieved. The feeling of uneasiness on his back suddenly disappeared.
"Myopia is not unpreventable. As long as you don't read under the sun or in a dark place for a long time and maintain the correct sitting posture, normal reading won't cause myopia," Meton said.
"If your eyes feel tired, you can put down the book and look out the window. Reading and writing, combining work and rest is the right way. Blindly studying will only be counterproductive. If you study all the time, not only will you not succeed in your studies, but you will also damage your eyes."
Everyone couldn't help but nod. Meton was the most persuasive. Meton was famous in Chang 'an, but he didn't study all the time. On the contrary, no student in the Tang dynasty had as much fun as Meton.
Meton said with emotion, "For a long time, we have advocated studying all the time. We have always taken cutting the wall to steal light as a model. But we don't know that although this spirit is admirable, this behavior is absolutely not worth advocating. Both dim and strong light are the most damaging to one's eyes. If everyone does this, the eyes of all the students in the world will be ruined."
Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun suddenly looked at each other. Who would have thought that the model of studying all the teachers in the world who had been advocating studying all the time would be so misleading?
Hua Yuan nodded and said, "That's true. In the Mo Hospital, the Old Man has seen too many young people with myopia come to the Mo Hospital for treatment. Unfortunately, we can't do anything about it."
Modun had an idea and said, "Actually, among all the students in the world, the princess is not the only one who suffers from myopia. Why don't you use yourself as an example, using the acupuncture points of the school of medicine as the foundation, imitating the Five Animal Frolics and creating a set of special movements to protect your eyes? If it can be popularized in the Tang dynasty, won't it benefit all the students in the world? "
Hearing this, Princess Changle's eyes immediately brightened, and she nodded her head repeatedly. Even Empress Zhangsun's gaze towards Modun was filled with admiration. If this was the case, her daughter's name would definitely be renowned throughout the world, leaving her name in the annals of history. Which parent in the world did not wish for their children to bring honor to their family?
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction. Meton knew how to conduct himself. Although the royal family didn't care about fame and fortune, it was extremely rare for the royal family to show kindness to the world without any cost.
Meton breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this time, he had turned the disaster into a blessing. Otherwise, not to mention Li Shimin, even the crazy sister protector Li Chengqian might not be able to get through.
