A member asked:

Is there a way to stop my eyes from looking tired and puffy?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: Cool compresses can help a lot. Make sure your eyelid skin is well moisturized to ensure it appears youthful. Artfully applied foundation and shadow can help a lot. If you have persitent puffiness around the eyes please check your thryoid status. Finally, if strongly desired, consider a cosmetic evaluation.

Depends on the cause: See an eye doctor to determine the cause then the best treatment can be outlined.

Everyday after waking up eventually fresh, within an hour eyes start getting heavy, puffy & sleepy. I feel like to lie down & sleep eventhough body isn't tired. In evening, it gets normalised on it's own. Does this indicate narcolepsy type 2 ?
