The present invention pertains generally to the field of ocular treatment, and more specifically to the use of a liquid cooling agent composition comprising a cooling agent for the treatment of (e.g., the alleviation of symptoms of the amelioration of) eye discomfort. The preferred cooling agent is (1R,2S,5R)-2-isopropyl-5-methyl-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid 2,3-dihydroxy-propyl ester (referred to herein as CPS-030). The liquid cooling agent composition is topically administered to at least a portion of the external surface of the eyelid (preferably the closed eyelid) of the eye to be treated. Preferably, the liquid cooling agent composition is carried on or in a wipe, pad, or towelette, for example, an eye wipe.
