The narrowing lies in the fact that the opening of the grape skin is narrower than usual. If the narrowing is of natural origin, then it is benign, but if it is of a painful origin, then it is bad, worse than dilatation, and often leads to closure of the pupil. The reason for the constriction of the pupil is either the dryness of the grape skin with wrinkling, so that the hole contracts and narrowing or closing occurs, or moisture, which so contracts the grape skin from the edges to the middle that the hole narrows, as happens to a sieve if it is wetted with water: it becomes soft and contracts on all sides, or the cause may be a strong dryness of the albuminous moisture, so that it decreases and the shell follows in the sense of thinning and contraction, which is the opposite of the state of bulging eyes. Narrowing most often occurs due to dryness.
Treatment. In case of narrowing due to dryness, moisturizers are used in the form of drops, medicines injected into the nose, and pourings, which are made with squeezed juices and other things that you already know. Food should be soft and fatty. From time to time the patient needs to be given something that contains a warming substance so that it attracts moist matter to the eye. It is necessary to massage the head, face and eyes in sequential order for a short time - all this in order to attract matter, because the use of moisturizers alone can even cause harm. When you use eye attractants, reapply moisturizers as well. For narrowing due to dampness, the well-known eye medicines mentioned in the paragraphs on weak vision, cataracts and ghosts help. These medicines include an ointment of the following composition: verdigris and ushshak - one part each, saffron - one part and a third, sabur - five parts, musk - half a part; An ointment is prepared from this. Another composition: ushshaka - two misqals, verdigris - four misqals, kala monitor - three misqals, saffron - two misqals, gum - one misqal. They are mixed with honey and used. Another composition: pepper and usshak, one part each, balsamic oil - a quarter of a part, saffron - one part; Ushshak is dissolved in fennel infusion, balsam oil is added, mixed with honey and used.
