Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) eye diagnosis, as one of the quintessences of TCM inspection, holds a significant role in clinical diagnosis. It also enjoys a solid theoretical foundation and a long history of development. The five-wheel and eight-region theories are the most important theories in TCM eye diagnosis. With the trend of TCM diagnosis objectivity, the modernization of TCM eye diagnosis has a strong development momentum. The author traced the evolution of TCM eye diagnosis theory, introduced the current technologies of eye diagnosis, and presented the team's latest research—TCM eye image recognition system. This system integrates TCM foundational eye diagnostic theory of “eight zones and eight acupoints” with detailed indicators from “four forms” and “eight colors” to establish a modern, precise framework for white eye image acquisition, processing and analysis by leveraging modern artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The paper outlined the construction of the eye diagnosis image recognition model, delved into the key technologies of system development, and proposed targeted solutions to existing challenges to promote the objectivity and precision of TCM diagnosis.
