Treatment of eyelid bags

Without a photo or face to face examination it is impossible to know exactly what the problem is. I assume you are referring to the small bulge near the inner corner of the eye on the upper eyelid that appears as part of the aging process. This is due to weakening/sagging of supporting structures that then allows fat surrounding the eyeball to protrude causing the bulge.

Pouch in corner of one eye

It sounds like you have a fat pocket in the upper inner eyelid that is visible on front view.  Unfortunately, there is not a non-surgical treatment that I am aware of.  An upper blepharoplasty should correct that "pouch."
