Hi! Thanks for the question. I will categorize the resources I found from alternative treatments plus sample products to article tips. Unfortunately, I wasnt able to find any definitive source, which ties contact lenses with baggy eyes. Alternative Treatments: 1. Sutureless Laser Eyelid Surgery http://www.sternctr.com/eyelid-surgery.html 2. Electric Massagers Bodi-Tek Facial Toner http://www.lovestory.it/beauty/skintreatments.htm Fit4Ever http://www.fit4ever.es/modelarsilueta/mujer/rostro_eng.htm Magnetic Acupuncture Eye Massager http://www.hairlossnet.com/health-beauty/Breeze-eye-massager.htm 3. Creams Eye Gelee Concentrate http://www.internatural-alternative-health.com/ingr/ingr121050.cfm 4. Cosmetic gels Herbal anti-aging eye gel http://www.ageless.co.za/eyegel.htm Azulen Eye Gel http://www.health-secrets.com/cgi-bin/Shop/outputproduct.cgi?f=body,c=8,p=HSRAEG 5. Exercise Health Mark Pro Inversion Table http://www.thegoodshopguide.com/as-seen-on-tv-store.html 6. Tea If you're a believer of going all natural, home remedies are for you. Tea contains tannin, which is an astringent. It will contract body tissues and reduce eye-bags. Some teas like Assam and Chamomile work better for eye-bags. Infuse two tea bags in boiling water for 10 minutes. remove and cool. Apply a compress to your puffy areas. 7. Cucumber Slices If the idea of used tea bags disgusts you, try cold cucumber slices. They'll constrict blood vessels and reduce puffiness. A cold spoon also acts in this way.

Thanks for the answer. Well structured and put together! Although I think maybe there could have been a little more research done considering a similar question (http://answers.google.com/answers/main?cmd=threadview&id=161741) was priced at $5... |

Hello MrPink-GA, I personally have had dark baggy eyes since childhood (am now 30) and I went to several optometrists to determine the cause and to seek treatment, but to no avail. However, the reason for mine is probably not the reason for yours. Something causes my eyes to tear and spill over the eye lids instead of filtering down the tear ducts. As a child this caused me to rub my eyes continuously. The doctors aren't sure if the condition or the constant rubbing caused the dark circles (I would guess the rubbing) but they were never able to come up with a successful treatment. Later in life the condition subsided somewhat (the tearing) but I was still left with the dark circles. I looked into treatment while in my early twenties and I found that forms of plastic surgery was going to be pretty much my only hope (because they had been that way for so long). I opted not to do it as he couldn't tell me if it would be 100% successful and the tearing is still not gone completely, so I didn't want the problem to come back again after spending all the money for the surgery. I guess what I want to add here is that the treatment for you problem is very much going to depend on the cause. I can also tell you that if it continues long enough, the dark circles become a permanent part of your life (speaking from experience here). I wish you the best of luck in getting your problem resolved. It's no fun to go through life looking like you've been up all night, or as the kids use to tease -- "did someone beat you up??". -PWizard |

Thanks for all the comments :) After skimming through the answer I have reached the conclusion the reasons for my puffy eyes are a combination of things. The fact that I wear contact lenses mean that I'm constantly stretching the skin around my eyes which can't help. My dad has very puffy eyes - hereditary I guess. Also, I stare at a screen all day and I eat too much fatty foods. I'm going to: Drink alot of water Take Vitamin C Use vitamin E oil on eys Be more careful taking out contacts exercise more and have a better diet get a fluffier pillow! :) |

Sometimes dark circles under the eyes of children are the sign of environmental toxins. Does you father have a paint shop in the garage? Do you live on a farm or next door to a golf course where herbicides and pesticides may be in heavy use? Are there other toxic chemical factors that may have been over looked? How is your water? Also, the time you are asleep is when the liver cleans the blood. Make sure you are getting at least 8 hours of sleep every night and if you need to catch up then sleep for 10 hours for three nights straight. Avoid heavy meals at night and especially just before bed. Eat a like a queen for breakfast, princess for lunch and a pauper for dinner. Do you drink alcohol? Drinking alcohol diminishes the livers ability to clean you blood at a reasonable rate. Make sure not to drink to excess or too often. Do you have a chronic inflammation? Some unresolved infection or illness? Again, if the liver is dealing with cleaning up from and infection of illness it has lest ability to do it regular job of cleaning your blood while you sleep. Just some ideas as I am not a doctor and dont wish to be taken as one. OrbitalD |
