This sh!t is driving me absolutely crazy. I used to think I was a pretty goodlooking guy, but lately I gotta question myself cuz every front-on digicam pic I take showcases some HUGE-A$$ under-eye puffiness and bags, but mainly puffiness.

I don't recall ever having this before, but then again, I never remember really examining myself for eye bags until recently. So I'm paranoid. I'm hoping this isn't "gravity" or "aging" as I'm only 19, pretty healthy, and a non-smoker.

But for the past 3 or 4 months my eyes have been very irritable... I frequently get red eyes (conjunctivitus?) and have been using over-the-counter eye drops like Clear Eyes and Visine almost daily. I didn't really think it was a serious problem a couple months ago... but it hasn't gone away. My eyes are always red as fvck (like I'm stoned) and the eyedrops seem to be helping less and less. My right lower eyelid looks like it got stung by a bee... yeah that's another weird thing worth pointing out... my right under eyelid is bigger than my left one. It's not a sleep deprivation problem because I get tons of sleep and wake up with red eyes. I also drink a ton of water, so it can't be dehydration.

So has anyone experienced this phenomenon before? Could this be allergy related? A viral infection? Can the eye puffiness be a result of the eye irritation due to conjunctivitus? And if yes, are these bags/puffiness reversible??? It would suck majorly if this is permanent, so I sure as fvck hope it isn't.

I have an eye appointment scheduled for Friday, so I guess I'll get some solid answers then, but I still have a week to go and I don't wanna be paranoid the whole time that these fvckin bags won't go away!!!

Please post whatever the doctor tells you, as I'm interested in some solutions to this problem too.
