What Causes Puffiness Under The Eyes?

I think it s wonderrful that so many Dr s are willing to do this blog. You are helping a lot of people! I m personally in the midst of having cataract surgeries...I had one surgery on Left eye,plus pseudo exfoliation Glaucoma surg also in same eye, same time.... about 10 days ago.I m doing fine..(I think) so far. I will have the right eye done next Weds...no glaucoma surgery there YET--- it s Less than the L. eye has, and is being treated with a daily eye drop, which is working fine to keep eye pressure down. BUT BOTH eyes have extreme puffiness Below them, and I ve only had one surgery. I am 72 yrs old, and still vain, and Wonder if I m going to have to get cosmetic surgery to clear up the Bags next! Is this normal, and do they usually get better with time? How much time? THANKS for helping me, and All the others. This is frustrating stuff! MY eye surgeon is a cataract and Glaucoma Specialist, with good credentials....near KCMO. I appreciate you! judi Huseman

Hi,

As per my surgical experience, it is the fat accumulation of the area below the eye, which is giving puffiness from various issues.

There is no correlation of the same with the current ophthalmic issue.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
