Comments on: Dear Dr. Seckel, I started noticing at the beginning of the year lines on my eyes that start near the corners of my eyes by the nose that go downward and a little dark in color.I believe you refer to them as Dark Circles Under The Eyes. I first noticed them when I was at the hair salon looking in the mirror. I thought I had eye makeup or even dirt in that area and went to wash it off. Well, the lines are still there. I thought maybe this happened because of my contact lenses which I got right before I noticed this; it would take me forever putting them in and taking them out and I really irritated my eyes. Also I thought maybe crying could do this. I did turn 50 at the end of July but I have never had this before. I have tried many creams. Is there anything that could be done whether it be topical, surgery, or Restylane (though you did say never to use fillers around the eyes)? Thank you, Lisa, Staten Island, New York
