How to find it (practical)
Follow the inferior bony orbital rim. Identify the junction of its lateral quarter and medial three quarters.
Atlas differences

Pontos e Meridianos describes 1 to 1.5 cun and contraindicates moxibustion. China’s People’s Medical Publishing House (PMPH) gives 0.5 to 0.7 cun and permits moxibustion. Taiwan’s Yi Bian gives 1.5 to 2 cun and contraindicates it. Each range belongs to the method described by that source. This atlas follows the textbook’s contraindication.

Needling
Qiuhou is an intraorbital point. The textbook describes an approach along the inferior orbital rim and advises against needle manipulation. Published depths vary.
