The surgeon would usually take an ice pick type object. The surgeon woud put the ice pick tool under the the eyelid. When the surgeon thought he reached the right spot, he would grap a hammer and start to hit the ice pick. The result would hopefully be to cure the patient but the patient would usually lose motor skills and may result in other complications.
