Qiuhou

1. 01On the lower rim of the eye socket, about one quarter of the way from its outer edge toward the inner edge.
2. 02Along the inferior orbital margin, at the point where the lateral quarter meets the medial three-quarters.

1. 01Perpendicular insertion. Have the patient look upward while you stabilize the eyeball from below with a finger, then slowly advance the needle slightly medially and upward, toward the optic nerve, to a depth of 1 to 1.5 cun. This produces distention and soreness throughout the eye along with a sensation of protrusion. Caution: take care not to insert too deeply, to avoid entering the cranial cavity.
2. 02Have the patient close the eyes and look upward. Direct the needle first slightly downward, then perpendicularly, passing between the eyeball and the lower orbital wall, to a depth of 0.5 to 1 cun. Caution: 1. Advance the needle slowly, without lifting, thrusting, or rotating it. 2. Immediately after withdrawing the needle, press firmly with a cotton ball for about a minute to prevent hematoma. 3. Only practitioners with suitable clinical experience should attempt this technique.
