Why do I have circles under my eyes?

Question

I never had circles under my eyes before, until I started wearing glasses 2 years ago. The circles aren't really dark or noticeable, but when I look in the mirror, and compare how I look right now to how I looked before I had glasses, I didn't have circles before I had glasses. How (and why,) did I get circles under my eyes, and how can I get rid of them?

I'm not that old. I'm only 15.

Answer 1

It's related to your glasses, if you have a very strong magnification. I had two friends who for many years wore glasses for astigmatism and myopia. In the long run, their eyes looked as if they had "sunken" (drawn back) into their eye sockets.
I guess glasses change the way you focus your eyes and the strenght.

Have you noticed the same thing happens when you sit in front of a computer for many hours?

Lower eye lid moisturizers might help a bit. I would also try eye muscles exercises. Then, of course, there's make up. But you probably won't go for it.

Answer 2

Ther dark circles have nothing to do with wearing glasses, except you may just see them more. You probably need more sleep, have some allergies, may possibly be lacking in certain vitamins, and also as we get older, the skin tends to thin out and lose some of it's elasticity and collagen. I wouln't worry about it, but if it really bothers you, you can buy an under eye concealer at the drug store. The best kind are the ones that have a green hue to them, they will work best against the purplish-blue circles that alot of people get under their eyes.

Answer 3

Get your nose peaces adjusted it is probably them that is causing this problem they can cut off the blood flow to your eye area if they are not fitted right. Also a temporary fix for the eyes is to put tea bags over the eyes to remove the dark coloring!

Answer 4

i will tell u what are the reasons of that and i will show u the way to get ride of it:
1-lack of sleep(as u said u sleep enough 8 hrs per day....dont sleep during a day....do some kind of sport in the evening...eat the light dinner with yaghourt....dont drink tea or cafe after 6 pm....eat some biscuits and warm milk before u go to bed...when u see u cant sleep leave ur bed ..read something then when u get sleepy again back to bed)...
2-smoking(its better if u decrease the number of cigarette u smoke)
3-nutrition(have to drink 7 glasses of water per day...2 piece of fruits including ur routine foods)
4-stress
5-glasses(maybe cuz u dont move ur eyes and instead that u move ur head to look at things....better to use contact lense)
6- watching the monitor(every one hr let ur eyes rest for 5 mins)
7-rubbing ur eyes alot....make ur little vein broken(try to dont rub ur eyes alot and use warm pad on ur eyes at night if during the day u rubed them)
8-anemia(u have to ask ur G.P ab that and by blood test u can find that out),like when u dont have enough Iron ...u can use some ferrus sulfate tablets per night(but just wih ur G.P order
9- lack of Zinc(one tablet of Zn per night)
10-Genetic(here is no way just u can cover it by cosmetic brands)

Answer 5

Could be from not getting enough sleep but it could also be from allegories and it could be genetic. I have girlfriend who tried ever cream, teabag and makeup plus trying to get extra sleep when the doctor finally told her she carried the gene for it!
See your doctor about it.
