Causes of swelling under the eyes

The causes of puffiness under the eyes can be varied, from the most banal and easily solved factors to serious diseases that require qualified treatment.

Blue circles under my eyes

The main reason for the appearance of dark circles under the eyes is the large amount of deoxygenated hemoglobin in the small visible vessels of the skin.

They say that the eyes are the mirror of the soul, so hardly anyone is happy when they have yellow circles under their eyes. And this is a very common problem these days, since the skin around the eyes is very thin, the vessels are located very close to the surface, so it is very sensitive to the influence of external and internal factors.

Burning in the eyes

If unpleasant symptoms and discomfort appear, including burning in the eyes, you should immediately consult an ophthalmologist, otherwise the consequences may be unpredictable.

Symptoms of elevated eye pressure

Increased intraocular pressure can lead to the development of various diseases of the visual organs, such as glaucoma. As a rule, at the initial stage of the development of this disease, the symptoms of increased intraocular pressure are not clearly expressed.

Eyelid edema

Eyelid edema is a condition of abnormally increased water content in the subcutaneous tissue of the eyelids that is often encountered in medical practice.

Tear production disorder

Phenomenologically, lacrimation disorders can be divided into two types: lacrimation (epiphora) and dry eyes (xerophthalmia, alacrimia - a more accurate term for decreased production or absence of tears).

Eyelid retraction and eyelid lag

Upper eyelid retraction (the position of the upper eyelid in which a white strip of sclera is visible between the edge of the eyelid and the limbus of the cornea when looking straight ahead) can be caused by hyperactivity of the levator muscle, contracture of this muscle, or hyperactivity of the smooth (Müllerian) muscle.

Ptosis

Ptosis is a pathological drooping of the upper eyelid, limiting the opening of the eye. If ptosis develops gradually, some patients are not even able to say whether they had drooping eyelids (lids) from birth or whether it occurred at a certain age.
