This is an old medical technique refined by William LeSassier. Have the client pull the lower eyelid down and look up; a small half moon is exposed inside the eyelid, the palpebral conjunctiva.
The following table summarizes indications associated with conditions below the eyelid:
| Condition below eyelid | Indication |
All evenly pink |
Healthy |
Areas of white |
Anemia. Lack of circulation. |
Central white |
Center of body, blood deficiency in uterus. Paler toward the center is a deep anemia. Paler toward the outside is a shallow anemia. |
Areas of red |
Heat. |
Conjunctivitis |
Contagious eye infection. Eye wash with strained goldenseal. Wash all doornobs and pens with rubbing alcohol. |
