Question 1

is it true that wearing glasses makes the eyes sunken and swollen?

Accepted Answer

No: Although the prescription of the glasses can make the eyes look bigger or smaller depending on whether it is myopic or hyperopic.

Question 2

does wearing glasses make eyes sunken?

Accepted Answer

May be an illusion: Wearing glasses will not physically change the eyes, it just optically corrects the focusing of the image so that it is clear to the eye. Wearing nearsighted glasses (myopia) can give the illusion that the eyes appear to be smaller and possibly sunken back, while farsighted glasses (like reading glasses) make the eyes look larger.  This is a magnification effect based on the power of the lens.

Question 5

21 yrs old , having sunken eyes with dark circles for  past 2 yrs ,not hereditary,using glasses for past 3 yrs,plz tell me possible cause and remedy?

Accepted Answer

Allergic rhinitis?: You get sunken eyes with dark circles if you don't get enough sleep, are exhausted and are not well hydrated. But if you feel normal, and still have those symptoms, do you also have runny nose, sneezing in the morning and at other times, without feeling sick? If so, you may have allergic rhinitis (or hay fever). See your doctor who can prescribe effective medicines.

Question 6

i was poked in the eye a couple days ago and it bruised fast . i wear contacts and glasses but today it's red swollen and watering . what is wrong ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Was the poke to the skin and bone around the eye or to the eye itself.?  Is your vision ok? Is your eye light sensitive?   If the eye is involved in any way, it is best to either see an er doctor or better yet an ophthalmologist to make sure there is nothing serious out of sorts inside your eye.

Question 7

i'm an 18 yr old female & i've been wearing glasses for 8 years. my eye look sunken in, puffy and dark circles all around with indentation marks at the sides of my nose. is there a natural way to fix this?

Accepted Answer

Allergic shiners?: Dark circles and puffy eyes may be a sign of allergies see an allergist for help.

Question 8

hi i was hit with a paper airplane yesterday and my glasses werent sitting right to block it and it poked me in the eye. it is now swollen and has formed into a bump. can this turn into a stye? is this serious that i need it to be looked at?

Accepted Answer

Depends on location: A stye can form on the eyelid, due to blocked gland ducts such as oil gland ducts, or perhaps due to trauma to hair or lash follicles. Styes usually just appear without reason. Haven't seen a stye result from a paper airplane, but it's probably possible to happen because many things are possible (even if rare) in life. A stye does not form on the eyeball itself.

Question 9

my left eye feels sunken in and i have a swollen pocket under my eye?

Accepted Answer

Infection or sinus: Swelling under the eye is usually from an infection of the eyelids (tenderness and redness also), an allergy type problem of the eye or skin (usually itching also), orbital inflammation (pain especially with eye movement), or sinus disease. Sleeping with the head elevated and ice may help reduce the swelling.  If it persists, you may need an exam to diagnosis the underlying problem.

Question 10

eyes to adjust to new glasses, how?

Accepted Answer

Perception: Correction of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism may ellarge, minify or distort your perception of the visual world around you.  The brain takes a while to get use to the perception change.
