Do bags under the eyes press on the optic nerve?

Bags under the eyes do not usually press on the optic nerve, but less often the optic nerve is affected during the procedure of cutting the bags under the eyes. Eye bags are usually formed due to physiological factors, such as age, frequent late nights, insufficient sleep, etc. These factors usually do not affect the optic nerve, and there is no obvious compressive reaction to the surrounding tissues, and they do not threaten vision, and you can see normally. A small number of patients choose to undergo surgery because of heavy bags under the eyes. However, hematomas may form during surgery, and the blood is difficult to drain out completely, which may cause significant compression of the optic nerve and affect vision. If you have bags under your eyes and need to have surgery, you must choose a professional hospital to avoid causing adverse reactions, resulting in compression of the optic nerve. If there is any discomfort after the operation, you should consult a doctor in time.
