To relieve any muscle spasm, place warm moist compresses over your closed eyes, Dr. Krauss advised. If your eyes are experiencing really painful spasms, try "alternating iced moist and warm-to-hot moist compresses, each for two to three minutes for a 15-minute cycle. The ice helps to block pain and the warmth helps to relieve muscle spasm," he said. Think of it as an excuse to give yourself a mini spa treatment in the middle of the day.
