What’s going on with the darkening of the orbital rims of the eyes in the elderly?

Elderly people with black eyes may have poor blood circulation around the eyes, or it may be caused by lack of sleep or kidney diseases.
1. Poor blood circulation around the eyes: Due to the slowing down of metabolism in the elderly, it is easy to lead to poor local blood circulation around the eyes, resulting in the gradual accumulation of metabolic products in the skin around the eyes, which cannot be metabolized in time, and the phenomenon of darkening of orbital rims may occur.
2. Lack of sleep: some older people due to reduced melatonin secretion in the body, resulting in shorter sleep, coupled with children are not around, or always worry about their children, resulting in poor quality of sleep, insufficient sleep, and over time, it will be easy to form dark circles under the eyes, which causes darkening of the orbital rims.
3. Kidney diseases: due to kidney diseases, patients with renal failure, resulting in reduced renal filtration rate, resulting in more toxins in the body can not be discharged, may lead to pigmentation around the eyes, resulting in darkening of the orbital rim. Common diseases include chronic nephritis and adrenocortical insufficiency.
Elderly people with orbital darkening, if accompanied by other discomfort, should consult a doctor as soon as possible to diagnose the cause and then give targeted treatment.
