Hello,
I have a problem...my eyes always look very tired and sleepy even though I usually sleep 7 hours a day and more during the weekends. Is there a cure or something I can do about it?
Please help. Thanks

This is usually due to changes in the anatomy of your eyelids.  Either your lids are somewhat droopy or the fat around your eyes may begin to bulge forward.  Sometimes large swings in weight can cause this.  I am an eyelid specialist and perform surgery to improve the look.  I am not aware of any treatments other than possible wieght loss or surgery.
