What to do if eye sockets are sunken when wearing glasses

The phenomenon of sunken eye sockets when wearing glasses mainly occurs in people who wear glasses frequently, such as those with high myopia or hyperopia, who need to wear glasses most of the day. This phenomenon will not occur if you only wear glasses occasionally. It may not be noticeable when you are wearing glasses, but once you take them off it is very obvious and looks very ugly. So, what should I do if my eye sockets are sunken when wearing glasses? Let’s take a closer look below.

Reduce wearing of glasses

Wearing glasses for a long time will cause the eyes to gradually deform or even sunken under the pressure of the eye frames. You can reduce the time you wear glasses or wear a pair of contact lenses to give the muscles around your eyes a rest from time to time. Slowly, the symptoms of sunken eyes caused by wearing glasses will naturally ease and recover.

Eat collagen

Collagen is the main protein component of the cornea. It can keep the cornea transparent, restore the elasticity and moisture of the eye muscles, and significantly improve the symptoms of sunken eyes caused by wearing glasses. Collagen can be obtained from food, such as: pig's trotters, pig skin, beef tendons, chicken wings, shark fins and other nutritious foods. It is recommended to consume collagen powder and apply eye masks containing collagen, which are relatively good.

Hot compress eyes

Hot compress on the eyes can promote blood circulation around the eyes, relieve symptoms of eye fatigue, and increase the moisture of the skin around the eyes. Long-term persistence can effectively improve sunken eyes caused by wearing glasses.

How to apply hot compress to eyes

Prepare a towel that is large enough to cover the eyes, soak the towel in hot water, and apply it to the eyes for about 5 to 10 minutes. You can apply it twice a day. It is generally recommended to apply it once in the afternoon and evening for more obvious effects.

Do an eye massage

Staying up late and overusing eyes can easily cause sunken eyes. Eye massage can relax the muscles around the eyes and dredge the nerves and tissue cells of the eyes. Therefore, regular eye massage can relieve sunken eyes caused by wearing glasses.

Eye massage method

Use your ring finger and middle finger to apply a little eye cream, starting from the corner of the eye, and massage the eyelids, temples, brow bones, and eye skin around the eyeballs in circular motions. You can do this whenever your eyes feel uncomfortable, and there is no limit to the number of times you can do it. But be careful not to use too much force as the skin around the eyes is relatively fragile.
