Contact lenses and dark circles?

Question

I have heard that when using contact lenses dark circles will tend to form under your eyes, is there anyway to avoid/treat this?

Answer 1

I use contact lenses and i don't get dark circles...just don't wear them for over 10 hours.

Answer 2

I have not heard that contact lenses cause dark circles.

I've heard that poor diets, lack of adequate sleep, lack of vitamins, allergies and illness can cause dark circles.

As for treating it ... ask your doctor if they can determine a cause. For me, it's allergies, so I was put on an allergy medication and they went away. You can cover the dark circles with a yellow-based concealer under the eyes. You can also lay a cold, wet cloth across your eyes for 15 minutes every day. After about a week, you'll notice that the circles aren't as dark. It takes a while, but helps.

Answer 3

I've worn contact lenses for over 20 years and I don't have dark circles under my eyes.

Answer 4

actually its not recommended to wear contact lenses if not that really needs. i think some ophthalmologist will agree for me...
