In this video, Joseph J. Allen, OD FAAO reviews how to get rid of bags under your eyes naturally, using eye creams and surgical treatment options. Under eye bags treatment typically focuses on reducing puffy eyelids via reducing the swelling or edema of the eyelid, however what causes under eye bags is protrusion of fat from underneath the eyeball pushing against the septum. Under eye bags are very common and almost everyone will experience them at some time, but some people may experience them more than others.
