Eye massage
Eye massage is given with the patient sitting and the head bent backward, the operator standing at the side. Placing the index finger of the right hand (for the right eye) on the eyebrow to support the hand, place the second finger on the eyelid and give quick rotary motions with moderate pressure. The finger may change positions so as to reach all parts of the eyelid, but it is chiefly the eyeball that it is desired to massage.
This can be reached with the finger near the edge of the lid. In this operation great care must be taken to avoid un¬due pressure on the eyeball. For vibration to the eyeballs the operator stands behind the patient and places one or two fin¬gers on each closed eye, tenses his arm muscles and gives rapid vibratory movements. The distance covered by the fingers necessarily is slight in this movement. A good eye vibration is also secured by striking the finger on the closed eyelid with the ends of the first and second fingers, having these flexed and rapidly tapping with and lifting them alternately.
