Can constant rubbing of the eyes lead to eye bags? (photo)

October 30, 2017
Asked By:eyequestionhelp in New York, NY

I have allergies and I notice that I frequently rub my eyes when I get bad flareups. My eyelids swell and turn red. 3 questions: 1. Can this rubbing damage the orbital septum and subsequently result in orbital fat moving forward and downwards? Also, how strong is the orbital septum? 2. I have blueish discoloration + thin skin under my eyes. Does the fact that I have very thin under eye skin predispose me to eye bags? 2. I also have a negative vector. Does this predispose me to early eye bags?
