In one aspect, an eye pack is disclosed comprising a gelatinous foam impregnated with an aqueous solution of polyvinyl alcohol embedded therein, and a barrier affixed to at least one side of the foam, wherein the barrier allows transfer of heat and restricts the transfer of the solution. In another aspect, a cooling eye pack, includes a gelatinous material including glycerin, a hydrophillic polymer, water, at least one paraben, and any one or more of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tetrasodium salt and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt; and a head securement adapted to secure the eye pack to a face proximate to one or more eyes of a human.
