Omg. I just took off my glasses.

I have AGED. The worst thing is my massive eye bags and deep sunken eyes.

What do I do? I wanted to get contact lenses but I’m not sure I can now.

I know the feeling! I wear my glasses all the time and they definitely hide the eye creases. I put a pair of contacts in every so often and it shakes me to the core 😂

Glasses tend to have sun protection as standard so usually help prevent crows feet/wrinkles.

It's when I put mine ON I notice my wrinkles not when I take them off!

Same - I got contacts and was horrified by all the lines I'd never been able to see before.

Kept my specs🤓and it seems I don't have wrinkles any longer. A miracle!

Learn how to put lenses in without needing to look in the mirror. Job done!

Same thing happened to me, thought about getting contact lenses for a younger look and for nights out. Studied myself without glasses and hastily changed my mind.

Haha it’s so annoying! I used to prefer how I looked without.

So how do I attempt to fix these eyes? I’m only in my 30s.

Same here! I look so much better (to me anyway), with no glasses- but that’s because my eye sight is so shit 😂

Retinol is your friend. Is improving the look of my eyes anyway.

How do you use it? Is it a cream? Any good links to some?

Be careful - retinol near your eyes can permanently dry them out!
