A member asked:

Is it possible for you to get bags under your eyes by sleeping too much?

Specializes in Cornea, Cataract, & Refractive (LASIK & PRK) Surgery

Not usually: Too much sleep does not cause bags under the eyes. Your bags are likely due to eye irritation, lid disease, eye allergies, or other issues.
