Sore eyes: Ice is your best friend, especially after trauma around the eyes. Apply an ice pack for about 5 min every half hour. In addition, a wash cloth soaked in cool whole milk is very soothing for the eye area. Apply to the traumatized area for 15 min three times a day, then rinse off. Try to sleep with your head elevated to help prevent swelling.

Cold compresses: Lids sound to be irritated, cold compresses are good to reduce swelling and inflammation. This is usually most helpful just after an incident like plucking eye brows.
