Under Eye Swelling (Puffy Eyes): Causes and Treatment 

Dr. Anin Seth from Mirchias Eye Care Centre, Chandigarh, talks about the cause of under eye swelling, its causes, treatment, and tips on how to get rid of them. 

It’s a very common problem. Patients come to us complaining about the dark circles and puffiness under their eyes. It is also called ‘bags under the eyes’.

Old age and Under Eye Swelling (Puffy eyes)? 

There can be various causes for puffy eyes. The most common cause of puffy eyes seen is old age. Due to old age, the skin gets thin, and the tissues become loose, which leads to swelling. The fat around the eyeball shifts and gathers under the skin. This fat leads to the formation of bags under the eyes.

Simple home remedy to reduce swollen eyelids (puffy eyes):

We need not do much. One can use an ice pack on the swollen area. If the swelling is more in the morning and fluctuates during the day, there can be more than one reason for this.

Other reasons for puffiness in the eyes:

Heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, or any disease that causes water accumulation. We usually see puffy eyes in older adults and younger people who suffer from kidney, liver, or heart disorders. 

Other symptoms of swollen eyes

Swollen eyes are familiar in people with diseases that cause water accumulation. Not only this, it also causes swollen feet or swelling in any dependent part. If this happens, do consult a doctor. But if there is swelling only in the eye and other things are normal, it may not be that big of a concern.
