It's refreshing but can be irritating.

Tea bags. A great eco-friendly way to help your eyes. Make some sweet tea then put the used tea bags in the fridge till they're cool. Place them on closed eyes for 10-15 minutes.

Frozen veggies are great for puffiness. Simply grab a bag of veggies from the freezer, wrap them up in a towel and lay them on your eyes for 10-15 minutes.
