Question about symbolism in the movie

I have a question.

When Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer) finally meets his maker he kills him by stabbing his thumbs into the man's eyes. I have always had the feeling that there was some sybolism hidden in that gesture. Anybody have an insight into this? Or am I reading too much into this? Although, with this film it is very difficult to read to much into it. It seems like there is symbolism wrapped within symbolism and hidden in a symbol in this movie.
