I've never tried this, but it certainly can't hurt. Grate an (organic) apple, lie down, and apply to closed eyelids. Allow juices to seep into eyes. Leave on for 20 Mins. Repeat a couple of times a day. You can also use potato instead of apple.
That's from "Earthly Bodies & Heavenly Hair" by Dina Falconi.

Oh! and another alternative is mashed rose petals, mixed with a little water. If you can find any in the dead of winter...DON'T get them from the florist(imported, full o' bad stuff).
