eye manipulation


Explanation:
While I agree with Julia, the idea I get is that this is physical manipulation like a massage.
See
Avoid manipulating the eye as pressure on the globe may risk extrusion of the intraocular contents and introduce infection.

For massage of the eyeball I always find it most comfortable to use the tip of the middle finger pressed gently against the eyelid, while I perform the movements necessary for the manipulation for the most part at the wrist joint,

The aim of the manipulations in eye massage is, like that of friction, to promote absorption.

The technique of eye massage is exceedingly simple
