Question: I poked the corner of my bottom eyelid with an eye pencil. Help?!?
So I did the above action and the corner of my eye area is a little puffy..this happened yesterday so I would like to know if there' anything I can do to fix this? It's not that bad of swelling, very slightly noticeable in fact. Any tips on making swelling go down and speeding up/aiding in recovery?

You could put some ice on it, should help with swelling.
Ice is fine. Use a gel pack or wrap the ice in a thin towel or cloth napkin. It will not wash out necessary fluids from your eyes. If the swelling doesn't go down withing 24 hour and/or the pencil left a mark on your eye, see an eye eye specialist for an exam
Cucumber is soothing for the eye, I wouldn't go for ice as when it melts the water can wash out the fluids which keep your eye moist. Just leave a slice of cucumber on your eyes and should help with any pain and/or swelling :)
