Can glasses hide the start of under eye bags?

[silver73]

I don't actually really need glasses but pretty sure I read somewhere that they help to hide under eye bags. My bags are not too bad but really show when I have not had enough sleep.

I am quite happy to wear cosmetic specs to help hide when I have not had enough sleep....

I found this out by accident!

I have terrible eye bags, unrelated to lack of sleep. I don't know what causes them but suspect it's just something about my bone structure as I get older.

If I wear my specs, the bottom end of the frame hits the worst of the bag-shadow under my eye, hiding it.

An unexpected benefit of being mildly short-sighted. I only wear my glasses for driving and sometimes watching TV.

Hey that sounds brilliant! I need something and don't have money/too scared to have plastic surgery.

I think I may look for some fantastic glasses over the summer to hide these terrors....

Well, I've worn glasses since I was 12 and I have to say.... I don't know if they hide bags or anything but I would give anything not to wear them. You get smudges and scratches you can't see past, I have a permenant greasy little 'dips' on the side of my nose. My eye makeup goes on them, if a child gets too close and pushes them on your eye they are so painful. They irritate my skin as I'm allergic to nickel. They rub my ears raw, give me headaches. They rub my foundation off if I have any on- which I rarely do, if I take the glasses off the greasy nasty sides of my nose look horrendous!

Basically I wouldn't wish glasses on my worst enemy but up to you.
