Under precautions, this is the third time the article mentions applying tea bags with your eyes closed.
"For example,applying tea compresses directly to your cornea if it has any epithelial damage may be harmful. The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye, and the cornea epithelium is its outermost layer. Always apply tea bags with your eyes closed."

And question for you. Did I see in another post that you said you were formerly MarciKs on the forum?

It's also a good idea to take them out of the pot first.

Tea bags and cucumber slices on the eyes. Then you can sit down and have a cuppa and some delicate little sandwiches.

Yes, but maybe bear in mind that the bag itself is toxic, it contains billions of plastic microparticles. Maybe we could enclose the tea in soft cotton or linen.
