Grey eyelids

Are your eyes naturally quite deepset Gingster? Maybe it’s tiredness, dehydration, poor sleep or stress making this happen. You could try good old fashioned cucumber slices on the eyes while lying in a darkened room for 20 minutes, if you ever have enough time. I’ve heard raw potato slices or used teabags can also work.

Abstract
The gray line is a well-known surface anatomic landmark used by surgeons in the repair of lacerations involving the lid margin. To the best of our knowledge, no description of any deep or superficial anatomic counterpart of the gray line has been previously reported. We examined block resections of 51 eyelids histologically following localization of the gray line. The visualized gray line was consistently seen to correspond histologically to the most superficial portion of the orbicularis muscle, known as the muscle of Riolan. We comment on changes in gray line morphology with lid movement, and we advance a hypothesis to explain its "gray" color." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3632419/

Or perhaps a visit to the GP is in order, (if you can get an appointment) to see if it is something that can be fixed by a vitamin supplement or diet adjustment?

Thankyou * blossoming*. My eyes aren’t particularly deepset but I it could be lack of sleep. I often put cucumber slices over my eyes to ease hayfever. I’ll see how it goes.

Thanks Elegran - yes I ll try to get an appointment to see what it is.

It is also likely that you often rub your eyes when they are irritated by hay fever (I know I do) Maybe that is somehow having an effect?
