Eyelid twitches
Eyelid twitches or tics result from a spasm or slight movement of your upper or lower eyelids. They can be annoying, and extremely distressing.
Glaucoma and blood pressure
Glaucoma and blood pressure have a complex relationship. Both low and high blood pressure may increase the risk of incidence, as well as progression of glaucoma.
Puffy eyes, Under-eye bags and Dark circles
With age, you will notice a change in your eyes. The tissues around the eye tend to sag. This is because of loss of skin tone. The fat shifts forward into the lower eyelids, and gives the appearance of bags under the eyes. Fluid retention in the eyelids makes them look puffy or swollen.

Diabetes affects the entire body, and the eyes are no exception. The high blood sugars, along with insulin resistance, damage the small blood vessels. In fact, diabetes increases the incidence and rate progression of both, cataract and glaucoma.
