33.3
Then, when one eighth of the day has passed or remains, in a room free from wind and intense sunlight and free of smoke, fitted with a blue or yellow curtain, for one whose food has digested, who is resting comfortably on a bed, lying on his back, having constructed outside the eye sockets two circular, spacious, even, leak-proof rims two fingers high out of ground black gram paste, one should pour into the closed eyes milk, ghee, or the scum of ghee cooked with the appropriate medicines and liquefied in hot water,
until the eyelashes and eyebrows are submerged.
Then, as he slowly opens his eyes, one should count the measures:
in eyelid disorders, one hundred; in junction disorders, three [hundred]; in sclera disorders, five [hundred]; in cornea disorders, seven [hundred]; in pupil disorders, eight [hundred]; a thousand in glaucoma.
According to each doṣa: a thousand in vāta, six hundred in pitta, five [hundred] in kapha and in the healthy procedure.
Generally preceded by a boil, whether at one finger or two fingers [breadth].
