How to Feel the Pulse Over the Eye
- 1). Place the index and middle fingers on the person's temple. Apply light pressure. A pulse becomes detectable through slight compression of the temporal artery.
- 2). Check several locations on the temple if you cannot detect a pulse. The artery's location varies slightly from person to person.
- 3). Check the other temple if you cannot detect a pulse; the pulse may be stronger on the other side.
