Advice on Swim Goggles That Don't Leave Rings Around Your Eyes?
Saturday December 20, 2008
I was wondering if anyone knows of a pair of goggles that do not leave dark rings around your eye cavity? when i was younger , the marks left quickly, but at my age it seems i have permanent blue rings for several days.

I am 47 and have worried that I have permanent marks/disfigurement around my eyes from goggles.
I did not have any problem until this year. I bought the Kaiman suction type goggles and they left red marks but they would go away within a few hours. At the end of the summer I started noticing very dark deep circles and bulging under my eyes. I discontinued the use of the goggles but the marks and discoloration have remained and only gotten worse.
I also have new eye bags and much more wrinkling than before.
Granted I am aging as well but this change is dramatic and quick. I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem.

My son’s eyes are doing the same thing. I have switched goggles twice. Should he go with a mask?
I am really upset I went swimming yesterday with my family and wore goggles. I am 40, and was left with blue/red rings around my eyes. They faded after a few hours, but not completely and I am left with puffy bags and more lines, and a faint blue line around the eye socket. I also had my bag stolen at the pool! Really bad day. I can’t do anything about my bag, but I hope my eyes return to normal I am gutted.
Using suction type swim goggles will cause puffiness and bags under the eyes. This may not be noticeable if you are quite young or if you swim infrequently. However, older swimmers (35+) may wish to consider using a positive pressure goggle such as the classic Barracuda Standard which is very comfortable, does not leak, and does not cause the unsightly bags and ‘raccoon eyes’ that suction goggles can leave behind.
