An eye treatment method and apparatus. The method including fitting a pair of electrodes to the temples around both the eyeballs. The temples are electrically stimulated by repeatedly imposing low-frequency signals having an output level that gradually increases from a substantial zero level and returns to the substantial zero level directly after reaching a maximum level each prescribed time on the electrodes. The apparatus includes a low-frequency signal generating means for generating low-frequency signals for electrically stimulating the ciliary muscle. Output control means is provided for causing the low-frequency signal generating means to repeatedly output the low-frequency signals in an output mode in which an output level gradually increases from the substantial zero level and returns to the substantial zero level directly after reaching the maximum level each prescribed time. The low-frequency signals are supplied to a pair of electrodes which may be fitted to the temples.
