It's called an eye bag. It is a bag filled with some sort of seed or another. You put it into the microwave for 30 seconds and then lie with it across your eyes for five minutes. This is followed by massage for the eyelids. All very helpful and it promotes tear-flow onto dry eyes.

ANdrew, is that like those pillow-sized, well, pillows, full of some variety of corn that you either microwave to make a "hot water bottle" or put inthe freeze to make an ice pack?
I've got a pillow-sized one; never heard of eye-sized versions, but what a good idea! Less messy than frozen peas, too!

PS: when I said in my earlier post "or supermarket own label" I meant supermarket own label washing up liquid (ie. own brand versions of Fairy liquid).
