Translator's annotation
It is possible that there are so many of Bao Yan products found at KWC due to Doc Ing Hay's decreasing eyesight. This could have been the herbal formulas he used for himself.
KWC1985.2.13: 何大中 represents name of manufacturer/person for whom the eye formulation is named after. The characters are common for Chinese names, though they do not have a direct translation.
KWC2007.1.21: the bottle is different from KWC1985.2.13 and the label appears to have been cut from something larger (with Chinese characters on the back) and then attached to the bottle. This might have been made after production, possibly at Kam Wah Chung.
