Have you been tested to see if you are anemic.  I am anemic and when my hemoglobin drops low sometimes I get dark cicles under my eyes that won't go away until my iron levels rise.  Just something to check into

just mix a little boric acid (found in drugstores) with some warm water in a cup and then flush your eye with it. it always works right away and soothes it. Also don't worry it doesn't burn.

there are some over the counter products that help, also taking a multi vitamin,, as dark circles can be due to many things, including lack of certain vitamins,, allergies, make sure when taking off/putting on eye makeup you are gentle, as the sking is fragile in that area, tea bags wet then placed on the under eye area are suppose to help, so are cucumbers, but i didnt notice a difference when i used them

1. Apply Vitamin E to the area under your eye. You could open up a   \n   Vitamin E capsule, and apply a little oil. Swallow the rest of the oil.    \n   This not only helps you get rid of dark circles, but also reduces   \n   puffiness around the eyes. In addition, regular application of  \n   Vitamin E delays the onset of wrinkles. \n\n2. Apply creams that contain Vitamin C. \n\n3. Swallow a capsule of cod liver oil everyday. It strengthens eyes. \n\n4. Take a teaspoon of tomato juice, a few drops of lemon juice, a \n    pinch of turmeric powder and a little flour, enough to make a paste. \n    Apply this paste to the under-eye area, and wash off after fifteen \n    minutes. \n\n5. Drink at least ten glasses of water everyday. There is no stressing  \n    this enough. If you do not drink at least eight glasses of water \n    everyday, you are not providing your body with as much water as it \n    requires for flushing out toxins. Do not wait until you are thirsty \n    before drinking up. By the time your body cries ‘I’m thirsty!’, you \n    are already severely dehydrated. \n\n6. Avoid stepping out in the sun, especially between noon to four, \n    when the sun is at its strongest. Wear sunglasses to protect your \n    eyes, and the delicate skin around it, from the harmful effects of UV \n    radiation. \n\n7. Apply a cold, used tea bag to your eyes. You could also applied \n    used, cold, herbal tea leaves to your eyes, to sooth them. \n\n8. Apply a concealer to the area under your eyes, to hide dark circles. \n    Use a colour that is every so slightly lighter than the shade of your \n    skin. Apply the concealer gently; do not stretch or pull the skin \n    from this delicate area. \n\n9. Lie down, close your eyes and apply cucumber or potato slices to \n    your lids. Leave on for ten minutes and remove. Wash the area with \n    cold water. This soothes tired eyes instantly, and helps boost blood \n    circulation in the under-eye area. \n\n10. Try out dark circle remover creams available in the market. Make   \n      sure they are of a recognized brand before applying them to your \n      face.

Dark eyes are ussually linked to lack of sleep, muscular morphism, inflamation of the blood vessels, or a brawl at the local pub.\n\nMight I suggest that he spents about half an hour twice a week lying on his back with a used, cold teabag over each eye.  The tea leaves cool the eye muscles and blood vessels down and should reduce the blackness.  This works btw.\n\nThere are also creams that do the same, see Boots, Avon and Superdrug for ideas.

Sounds like you've been burning the midnight oil a little too much lately. Get at least 8 hours of sleep each night, going to bed at a sensible hour. Eat a balanced diet, with plenty of water. Get outside and get some exercise...shoot hoops, rollerblade, do fun stuff. There are some undereye creams that help reduce the puffiness, but they are only temporary. Check with Avon. Putting a cold compress on your eyes might help them feel better. Take care of yourself. <*)))><

You should really go to see a doctor, as you have cells on the front of your eye which can get scratched, he will do an eye examination to see what the problem is, tell him you slept with the contact lens in and buy some new ones, and use glasses for a bit to give your eye a rest

While you are sleeping the natural tears in your eyes build up and clean your eyes to get rid of dust, dirt, and impurities. The excess collects in the corners of your eyes and drys up. That is what makes the crusty stuff, or "sleep" you find around your eyes in the morning.

Styes are caused by a blocked tear duct. It's kind of like a pimple, caused by dirt, oils, etc. Do not try to pop it, it can be dangerous to do so. Apply as hot a cloth to it as you can withstand several times a day, this will help to unclog and draw out the bacteria. Also, keep your hands away from your face, get enough sleep, and try to avoid stress.
