Eye Iron

An eye iron is a metal n-shaped implement that is first cooled with ice, then pressed to the skin to cool and reduce swelling. It is most commonly used in boxing and other contact sports where such injuries can occur to the face, to reduce swelling around the eyes which can cause impaired vision.
