As the membrane thins, the fat herniates and pushes forward. This is when bags or bulges start forming under the eye.<\/p>\n<h4>Why are eyes sometimes puffier in the morning after you wake up?<\/h4>\n<p>While we sleep, we don\u2019t blink. And this is part of the reason why eye puffiness develops.<\/p>\n<p>Blinking for eyelids is like walking for legs. When idle, some people develop swelling in their lower extremities. This usually goes away as soon as they start walking and muscles in the legs begin \u201cmilking\u201d the trapped fluids (edema), which are released back into circulation.<\/p>\n<p>A similar action takes place in the eyelids. The closed, non-blinking eyelids during sleep potentially can swell in certain people prone to this problem. So in the mornings, you could wake up with unusually puffy, swollen eyelids. As soon as you open your eyes and start blinking, some of the swelling will diminish in an hour or so.<\/p>\n<h4>When do puffy eyes mean you have a medical condition?<\/h4>\n<p>When puffy eyes occur unexpectedly, this can signal an underlying medical problem. For example, people with thyroid eye disease can develop swelling of tissue and muscles around their eyes. Also, bulging eyes can signal a thyroid disorder known as Graves\u2019 disease.<\/p>\n<h4>Eye allergies<\/h4>\n<p>Eye allergies related to conditions such as hay fever also can cause swollen eyes. Other types of allergies, such as reactions to certain foods or chemicals, can cause swollen eyelids.<\/p>\n<p>During an allergic reaction, certain cells in the body release a chemical called histamine that has many adverse effects on body tissues, including fluid leakage from the blood vessels. These fluids become trapped in surrounding tissues, causing oedema.<\/p>\n<h4>Infection<\/h4>\n<p>Puffy, swollen eyelids and dark circles under the eyes can occur when you have an eye infection such as pink eye. These swollen eyes are caused by inflammation associated with eye infection, which directly affects the neighbouring eyelids. Also, dry eyes can cause general puffiness and swelling.<\/p>\n<h4>Disease<\/h4>\n<p>Systemic diseases, including kidney failure, can also lead to general swelling throughout the body, including around the eyes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-d7dc3d6949cf83d85 fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_d7dc3d6949cf83d85\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"d7dc3d6949cf83d85\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-798-1\" data-target=\"#d7dc3d6949cf83d85\" href=\"#d7dc3d6949cf83d85\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Puffy eyes and dark circles diagnosis and examination process<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"d7dc3d6949cf83d85\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_d7dc3d6949cf83d85\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p>I will ask you a number of questions to help pin point the cause of your puffy eyes and dark circles.<\/p>\n<p>Questions will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When did you first notice the puffiness under your eyes?<\/li>\n<li>Have your symptoms been continuous or occasional?<\/li>\n<li>What, if anything, seems to improve your symptoms?<\/li>\n<li>What, if anything, appears to worsen your symptoms?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-3f8fac68fb13a5fc3 fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_3f8fac68fb13a5fc3\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"3f8fac68fb13a5fc3\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-798-1\" data-target=\"#3f8fac68fb13a5fc3\" href=\"#3f8fac68fb13a5fc3\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Puffy eyes and dark circles treatments<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"3f8fac68fb13a5fc3\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_3f8fac68fb13a5fc3\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<h4>What can be done about puffy eyes and dark circles?<\/h4>\n<p>The best solution for puffy eyes and dark circles will depend on the underlying cause.<\/p>\n<h4>If they are inherited<\/h4>\n<p>If you have the same puffy eyes as your mother or father, you probably inherited the trait. In this case, you will need to either accept the trait or consider cosmetic options that might help reduce the puffiness and discolouration.<\/p>\n<h4>If they are a result of ageing<\/h4>\n<p>Puffy eyes and dark circles caused by ageing also probably would require a cosmetic solution.<\/p>\n<p>We could discuss some of the available options to address your eyelid concerns. These options include chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing procedures, certain cosmeceuticals (prescription skin products) and eyelid surgery known as blepharoplasty.<\/p>\n<p>Blepharoplasty involves removing extra fatty tissue and excessive skin from upper and lower eyelids, as well as tightening skin and muscles to reduce puffiness and wrinkles.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-02dc5a8f957f1f7fd fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_02dc5a8f957f1f7fd\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"02dc5a8f957f1f7fd\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-798-1\" data-target=\"#02dc5a8f957f1f7fd\" href=\"#02dc5a8f957f1f7fd\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Temporary home remedies <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"02dc5a8f957f1f7fd\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_02dc5a8f957f1f7fd\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p>Many home remedies can temporarily help reduce the swollen look around eyes, such as:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Using eye drops for irritation caused by allergies, if appropriate<br \/>\n\u2022 Drinking ample fluid to prevent dehydration<br \/>\n\u2022 Applying a cold compress to the eye area when your lids are swollen<br \/>\n\u2022 Applying cucumber slices or chilled tea bags over closed eyes<br \/>\n\u2022 Using creams and other skin products specially formulated for use around the eyes<br \/>\n\u2022 Reducing salt in your diet<br \/>\n\u2022 Eating potassium-rich foods, such as bananas, to eliminate excess fluids in your body<br \/>\n\u2022 Splashing cold water over your face and eyes<br \/>\n\u2022 Getting plenty of sleep and rest<\/p>\n<p>One of the most common home remedies, as mentioned above, is the temporary use of haemorrhoid creams and ointments to reduce the puffiness in eyelids. A common active ingredient in these preparations is phenylephrine, a medication that constricts blood vessels, reducing their diameter.<\/p>\n<p>This can have a potential dual effect on puffy eyelids. First, if dark circles are caused by a visible network of blood vessels under the thin eyelid skin, then making the vessels smaller might reduce the darkness. Second, constricting the blood vessels could reduce the potential for leakage of fluid from within the blood vessel, and this might reduce puffiness.<\/p>\n<p>However, be aware that there are risks associated with using haemorrhoid creams for this purpose. If you accidentally get any of these types of products in your eye, you can experience a severe inflammatory response known as chemical conjunctivitis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-5 fusion-parallax-none nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-background-position:left top;--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:7%;--awb-padding-bottom:7%;--awb-background-image:url(&quot;https:\/\/eyecliniclondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SOV-30-samer-hamada-eye-clinic-london.jpg&quot;);--awb-background-size:cover;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-first fusion-animated\" style=\"--awb-bg-blend:overlay;--awb-bg-size:cover;width:50%;width:calc(50% -

I appreciate that he asked questions about my whole diet and lifestyle which helped him to quickly figure out why my eye surface was inflamed. I now have simple steps I can take to reduce the inflammation through diet and lifestyle changes which I\u2019ve now been doing for 2 weeks. I also have been using the special non-preservative eye drops and gels that Mr Hamada provided. My eyes are already feeling so much better and I\u2019m so relieved to have had help to sort this out.

My mother went on to receive a corneal graft. Mr. Hamada and his clinic are simply wonderful. Their response is immediate every time even if it\u2019s the weekend. Mr. Hamada puts a lot of personal attention answering every question very patiently and alleviating any fears. His manner is so kind that puts his patients completely at ease. This caring trait continues in the rest of his staff especially his assistant Joanna. I really can\u2019t thank them enough. I thoroughly recommend anyone with eye problems to go to Mr. Hamada. You couldn\u2019t be in better hands. He has treated my mother who is a long sufferer of eye problems.
