Summary

This study tests whether a simple acupressure massage around the eyes can change key eye health measures like blood flow, pressure, and tear film. Researchers will enroll 55 healthy people of all ages and measure these effects using advanced eye imaging and other tools. The goal is to see if this drug-free technique could be a helpful addition to eye care.
