Did you know...
that cooling your eyes after you wake up may help relieve puffy eyes?

Millions of Americans wake up each day with Puffy Eyes. Most often it is caused by your activities from the previous day:

  • Drank fluids at bedtime
  • Ate salty foods
  • Spent all day with your head bent over a garden
  • Lack of sleep

Sometimes, puffy eyes are caused by an allergic reaction such as eating strawberries or sleeping with a down comforter. Hormonal changes during menstruation can also cause your eyes to become puffy.

Roundish pouches or bags rather than puffiness may be a sign of a thyroid condition known as Grave's disease or an indication of a kidney problem. Speak with your doctor if you are experiencing these symptoms.

Reaching out to medications may not necessarily be the answer for you. Some Over-The-Counter (OTC) medications have side effects more serious than your puffy eyes. Always check and follow label instructions or speak with a doctor.
