Cold reduces inflammation and thus reduces swelling and redness. Heat increases inflammation and brings blood. I would apply cold. However, do not apply cold compress to eyeball longer than 5 minutes at a time because the eye has many blood vessels which will constrict upon contact with cold pressure. Let the eye breath. If the eyeball is infected, do not apply cold. This is because the eye wont receive enough blood to properly heal. The eye needs blood in order to prompt inflammation. Inflammation is needed to get rid of bacteria. If the eye is itchy, apply cold in order to narrow blood vessels.
