Yes you are a good candidate, but some key things you should know before surgery
Based on the photos you submitted, you are a very good candidate for the reduction of bags under the eyes at the age of 66. It’s clear that you have light skin, some fine lines and wrinkles and even puffiness under the eyes. As a cosmetic oculofacial plastic surgeon for 20 years, I want to stress to you a couple of key elements in making the right choice when you finally decide to have the lower eyelids treated.
First of all, at this stage of your life, it would not be surprising to me...

Lower Eyelid Bag Removal at Age 66
Age is irrelevant as to whether you can have lower eyelid bags removed. You are a good candidate for the procedure which removes fat, minimal skin and tightens the corners so the risk of lower eyelid droop is minimized after surgery. If adequately removed, the bags will not return for the remainder of your life.

Candidate for lower lid blepharoplasty
Yes, you are a candidate for lower lid blepharoplasty. To optimize your results and prevent sagging of the lower lids after the fat is removed, I would suggest fat grafting or repositioning some of the fat from your lower lids into the sulcus below the "bags" as well as a canthopexy (tightening of the lower lid) to reinforce the position of the lower lid.
Please see an expericed who is well versed in these procedures.

Candidate for blepharoplasty?
You do appear to be a candidate for blepharoplasty. On the lower eyelids, a combination of fat and skin would need to be removed. The upper eyelids could be improved with a forehead/brow lift and/or upper blepharoplasty. Your eyebrows are not symmetric, so this would need to be taken into account as well. If you had the procedure done, I doubt that you need to have the procedure repeated at a later date, as the results should be fairly long lasting.
