pain, both of which can be seen in congestions and acute and
chronic inflammatory conditions.
Vibrations of the Byes.
There are two kinds :
1. The patient closes the eyes, and the operator, standing
behind him, lays two of the fingers on each eye, and commences
the vibrations (fig. 31). He has to take care that the eyelids

do not move up and down, but are kept steady on the eyeball,
so that the vibrations pass through them.
2. We may place the distal phalanx of the thumb on the
outer side of one eye, and the same phalanx of the fore and long
fingers on the outer side of the other eye (as seen in fig. 32),
and make the vibrations. They ought to be felt deeply through
the eyeballs.
The first movement, which does not penetrate so deep, affects
the superficial parts, while by the latter the deeper parts are more
acted upon. They should always be accompanied by frictions
and vibrations over all the sensory nerves round the eye.
