Should you put ice on eyelids when your eyes are hurting?

No, you should not apply ice directly to your eyelids when your eyes are hurting. While cold compresses can help relieve some eye discomfort, placing ice directly on the delicate skin of the eyelids can cause damage. Instead, wrap the ice or a cold pack in a clean cloth or towel and apply it gently to your closed eyelids for no longer than 15 minutes at a time.
