Hi lybrate-user, The causes of puffy eyes can be various different conditions, some of which are linked to disorders and diseases. Common conditions like styes causes momentary puffiness. However, in many cases puffiness is not related to any serious medical problem. Puffiness also becomes more likely with age, as the changes in skin elasticity and firmness changes. There are a host of different lifestyle factors that can contribute to puffy eyes. This includes lack of sleep, dehydration, excessive salt intake and overuse of the eyes leading to eyestrain. Puffiness of the eyes may also be seen with excessive alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking in the long term. Any reason for prolonged tearing including crying can also lead to puffy eyes. The eyes are commonly affected in allergic reactions, even when the trigger substances (allergens) do not make direct contact with the eye and surrounding tissue. Allergic rhinitis mainly affects the nose, leading to a runny nose, sneezing and nasal congestion. Often the eyes are also involved (allergic conjunctivitis) and there is usually puffiness around the eyes. A number of infections can affect the eye and extend to the tissue around the eye. Conjunctivitis is a well known infectious condition of the outer layer of the eye. It is commonly referred to as a ?pink eye? and most cases are due to viruses. It may also involve the eyelids (blepharitis). Orbital cellulitis is an infection, usually bacterial, that affects the tissue around the eye. It can be a very serious infection that needs immediate medical attention. Hope this helps. Good Luck. ?pink eye
