What causes puffy eyes?

Dark circles under the eyes, puffy eyes and tired eyes are all different names for the same thing. They can be caused by something as innocuous as shadows from your eyelids (especially in overhead, flourescent lighting) or a symptom of something as serious as scurvy. Most people associate dark circles under the eyes with fatigue, but there is frequently no correlation. The most common causes of puffy eyes are allergies, eczema, smoking, nasal congestion, sun exposure, pigmentation irregularities, and the loss of collagen in the skin which creates hollow spaces beneath the eyes. The remedies found at GrannyMed work best for tired eyes. Consult a doctor if you have pain, irritation, swelling or discoloration in or around the eyes.
