Close the eyes, use a straight fine needle to insert between the eyeball and the infraorbital edge, and slowly insert 0.5 to 1 inch along the inner edge of the orbital wall. Before inserting the needle, ask the patient to turn the eyeball downward to make the eye Qiuhou (EX-HN7 ) The tissue is deflected upward to avoid being punctured. It is not advisable to use many twisting or lifting techniques during acupuncture, and the needle should not be retained for too long. After the needle is removed, gently massage the needle hole for a moment to prevent bleeding. It is not advisable to use moxibustion.
