Location

On the face, between the eyeball and the infraorbital margin, directly inferior to the pupil when looking straight ahead.

What it helps with

Tired, dry eyes after screen work, watering in the wind, twitching eyelid, puffiness under the eyes.

How to work on it

Light touch only: rest the fingertip on the bony orbital rim (not on the eye) and hold still for 15-20 seconds, 2-3 times.

Caution

This point lies right at the eye: only a light touch on the bony orbital rim, never press on the eyeball. Avoid with eye inflammation, injury or contact lenses in place.
