1. Key Eye-Care Acupoints
Jingming (BL1): Located in the slight depression just above the inner corner of the eye. Pressing here accelerates microvascular circulation and alleviates dry, gritty eyes.
Cuanzhu (BL2): Located in the depression at the inner edge of the eyebrow. Pressing here relieves tension between the eyebrows, blurred vision, and eye fatigue.
Yuyao (EX-HN4): Located in the center of the eyebrow, directly above the pupil. Pressing here provides a soothing effect and helps eye muscles refocus.
Sizhukong (TE23): Located in the depression at the outer end of the eyebrow. Pressing here relieves dizziness and eye fatigue.
Sibai (ST2): Located directly below the pupil, about one finger-width below the lower edge of the eye socket. Pressing here promotes circulation around the eyes and alleviates dryness and fatigue.
Taiyang (EX-HN5): Located in the depression about one finger-width behind the outer corner of the eye and the end of the eyebrow. Pressing here relieves throbbing pain in the head and eyes while refreshing the mind.
2. Proper Massage Steps
Warm the Eyes: First, rub your palms together until warm, then gently place them over your closed eyes for about 10 seconds to stimulate blood circulation around the eyes.
Massage with Fingertips: Use the pads of your middle or index fingers to apply gentle, vertical pressure to the acupoints, massaging in a circular motion. Apply enough pressure to feel a slight, dull ache, but avoid pressing too hard on the eyeballs themselves.
Rotate Eyeballs: After massaging the acupoints, keep your eyes closed and slowly rotate your eyeballs 10 times clockwise and 10 times counter-clockwise; finally, open your eyes and gaze at a distant green plant for a few seconds.

Special Groups: Pregnant women should avoid strong stimulation of the Taichong (LR3) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) acupoints.
