Wearing eyeglasses or “specs” themselves does not directly cause dark circles under the eyes. Dark circles under the eyes can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Genetics: Some people are genetically predisposed to having dark circles under their eyes.
- Thin Skin: The skin under the eyes is thinner than on other parts of the body, making blood vessels more visible, which can create the appearance of dark circles.
- Aging: As a person ages, the skin under the eyes can become thinner and lose collagen, which can make dark circles more noticeable.
- Fatigue and Lack of Sleep: A lack of sleep and fatigue can cause the blood vessels under the eyes to dilate, making dark circles more prominent.
- Allergies: Allergies can lead to inflammation and swelling around the eyes, which can contribute to the appearance of dark circles.
- Sun Exposure: Excessive sun exposure can lead to increased pigmentation under the eyes, making dark circles more noticeable.
- Poor Diet and Dehydration: Inadequate nutrition and dehydration can affect the skin’s appearance and contribute to dark circles.
Wearing glasses may not directly cause dark circles, but they can cast shadows under the eyes, which may make existing dark circles more prominent. If you are concerned about dark circles under your eyes, it’s a good idea to address the underlying causes, such as getting enough sleep, managing allergies, protecting your skin from sun damage, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If dark circles persist and are a cosmetic concern, you may also consider consulting with a dermatologist or healthcare professional for treatment options or cosmetic procedures.
