But boiling water that cooled down to 80°C is also boiled water and has since cooled down, still hurts. So yeah be a bit more specific doc.

I've cooled it down to ice, feels refreshing on my eyes, but I don't think it's doing much besides it

How about a science experiment. Boil some water and then rinse an eye with it each 10 C as it cools down and compare the short-term, medium-term, and long-term results. You'll need lots of eyes so recruit your family and friends!
