Considering that plenty of people struggle with hayfever headaches from irritated eyes and noses as well, so the cooling effect could help ease the discomfort of a painful head as well.
When eyes are exposed to pollen, it can cause inflammation that leads to red, itchy and watery eyes as well as headaches. Struggling from hayfever can even last all the way from mid-May to the end of August.
A common hayfever trick is to bathe your eyes in cool water but this can obviously lead to wet hair and an uncomfortable neck from having to awkwardly bend over a sink.

Therefore, providing the same cooling sensation can alleviate the inflammation and prevent the worst signs of irritation, even if you're not washing out any of the pollen. It can also reduce the intensity of your headache so you can start to get back to your day.
So, if the recent pollen bombs have been wreaking havoc on you, consider getting something to give your eyes a cool down.
