Has anyone developed bags under eyes after cataract surgeries?

Posted by daisymiq @daisymiq, Aug 27, 2023

I had a right eye cataract surgery done in May, 2023 and the left one in June, 2023. Three months have elapsed and I noticed that the bags under my eyes which started after the surgeries have not disappeared. I am wondering how long it would take for this condition to go away on its own.

@joybringer1 It has been my experience that when your eyes are weeping continuously it is because they are dry!
Sounds strange I know. Your eyes are actually over reacting to the dryness. If you use a good brand of drops with no preservatives on a regular basis it should improve.

It’s true, watering eyes can be due to dryness. Your eyes are trying to compensate for the dryness by excessive tearing. An eyedrop without preservatives can help.

I developed bags under my eyes just recently. I feel I look 10 years older than what I am. Are there medical reasons why we get these unsightly things?

I had cataract surgery on both eyes, at different times, in 2015. Thankful, no side effects since having the surgeries.
