Why does my elderly father suddenly get dark circles around his eye?

Dark circles around the eyes can be indicative of allergies. He hould see a doctor.

Because he is old like me. Honestly, I don't know but the elderly should have regular check ups.

Dark circles around both eyes might indicate dehydration. Is he drinking an appropriate (not too little, not too much) amount of water? See the article below for more information.Com/article/dark-circles-under-eyes.

Thanks to everyone who replied. This has occurred about 4-5 times in the past couple of years and has affected both of his eyes, though individually. In at least two of the cases it darkened the entire area around the subject eye.It's almost as if someone punched him, which is what his cardiologist seemed to hint when we asked him about it.

Based on the doctor's response, I developed the notion that he may have essentially punched himself while sleeping, especially since my mother says he is sometimes extremely restless. However, with this hypothesis, one might think he would injure himself elsewhere as well. The good news is that it doesn't seem to hurt notably and diminishes in a week or so.

The vision isn't affected. We'll review further the suggestions you dear folks provided and see how things develop. Frankewie 3 days ago .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
