About the principle of eye massage.
Eye massage stimulates the acupuncture points and muscles around the eyes, promotes blood circulation in the eyes, relieves eye fatigue, and achieves the effect of protecting eyesight. Eye massage also helps to relieve tension in the eye muscles and reduce intraocular pressure, which has a positive effect on the prevention and improvement of myopia.
About the method of eye massage.
Warm the eyes: Start by using a warm water-soaked washcloth and gently apply it to the closed eyes. A warm towel compress helps to relax the muscles in the eye area and promote blood circulation.
Rub your hands: Rub warm with the palms of both hands, then close your eyes and gently massage around your eyes. Starting at the center of the eyebrows, gently massage along the orbital bones, then along the temples, and finally gently rub the bags under the eyes.
Eye rotation** Gently press the eyeball with your index finger to perform clockwise and counterclockwise eye rotation. This helps to exercise the eye muscles and improve the flexibility of the eyeball.
