Abstract:
The "three eye-needling" technique is one of the important component of Jin's three needling therapy, mainly used for the treatment of eye disorders such as optic atrophy, macular pigment degeneration, myopia, hyperopia, strabismus, amblyopia, diplopia, glaucoma, cataract, etc. In the paper, Jin's "three eye-needling" technique is explored, including the keys of manipulation, operation procedure and basic skills. This technique is particularly for "mind regulation", focusing on tranquilizing, observing and concentrating the mind. The precise selection of point is the basic requirement, the technique for fixing, pressing and pricking are the most important link. The needle insertion with one hand is adopted with gentle rotation manipulation. Mind regulation, point selection and specific operation are coordinated with each other to bring the function of "three eye-needling" technique into play and achieve better therapeutic effects.
