A 62-year-old man in China tried to ease his dry eyes with a tool built for sore muscles. He pressed a percussion massage gun against his closed eyelids for 10 minutes at a time, two to three times a day, for three days in a row.
About a week after he stopped, his vision began to decline, and headaches followed. By the time doctors examined him, the natural lenses in both eyes had come loose and moved forward, and pressure inside his eyes had climbed to 51 mmHg in the right eye and 49 mmHg in the left, far above normal.
