the cold cucumbers reduce swelling around the eyes

Cucumbers are supposed to reduce swelling/bags under the eyes, which they do. In reality, any watery vegetable would work. Cucumbers are 90 or so percent water, so just putting an icepack or a head of lettuce would do the same thing, but that would just be too bulky.

The sodium content helps draw excess water from the tissue surrounding the eyes, reducing puffiness. While you're doing your eyes you could eat the rest of the cucumber as they're good to eat too.

Cucumbers are one of the coolest vegetables..they are used as cold creams too and its content is more of water, so when once used on the eyes, they eliminate eyebags, puffiness, eradicate black marks below the eyes and helps control eye wrinkles and crows feet yoo...and of course it serves as cleansing material too for the tired eyes..they soothe the eyes and give back the cooling sensation as if you just cried...........they also help in the blood circulation of the eys thus removing red spots or even red thin lines across the eyes..they are surely very effective for the eyes.......

They keep them quiet and help them to relax.
I went with my wife to her doctor's appointment. The nurse put a thermometer under her tongue and told her to keep her mouth closed for five minutes....
It worked! I offered the nurse $50 for it!
