QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Mburgon and BorgQueen: So some things. First, the hook isn't stated in the body and I'm also not sure if the part of it being used to relieve pressure both inside or behind the eye (though that's likely because I'm not knowledgeable in medical related topics). Though for citation problems, I can't find where citation 9 states that it's " often used as a last resort. Also would prefer a citation for the entirety of the Contraindications rather than the first sentence. Onegreatjoke (talk) 19:57, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Onegreatjoke: The hook is the very first sentence of the article, just simplified a bit. But you're right about the pressure behind the eye bit, as the source I've read only talks about the pressure inside the eye. If the article creator doesn't respond in a few days I'll see what I can do and perhaps rewrite it. BorgQueen (talk) 20:19, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
