Asked By:lyndys79 in Miami, FL

I have slight puffiness under my left eye. In the morning it tends to be bigger and as the day goes by the puffiness subsides, but still apparent. There's no pain at all, but sometimes it is itchy. I don't want to do any eye surgery as I don't believe this is severe enough for that. In the pictures you can see it is only one eye affected. Please help as I truly would like some help with this issue.
