The elasticity and tightness of the skin around your eyes decreases. This can cause your eyelids to droop and lead to bags or wrinkles. This can give a sombre or tired impression and may also put pressure on your eyes, cause fatigue of the eyes or even a reduced field of vision and sometimes even headaches. People who smoke, drink or spend too long in the sun have a bigger chance of developing eyelid conditions.
