I started seeing black circles producing under my eyes near the third week so I stopped it. As time progressed after, they worsened, and so did my red eyes. My sister, who went through a full course of accutane has pronounced under-eye circles and "puffyness". All eye drops only give you temporary relief. Also, you should stay away from the ones the get rid of "red eyes", since these usually constrict your eye veins to make it look good, and once they wear off it's even worse. Only use lubricating eye drops.

I can't say it's permanent for everyone, but for us it seems to be.

I am on 80 mg of clavaris per day and at the end of my third month (this is my second course). I have also been suffering from the same problem except my eyes are not red. One of my eyes is drier than the other and is actually tearing up a lot because it is so dry. I did not have this problem on my first course so I don't know if the puffy eyes go away (I sure hope so).

Today I bought some new lubricating eye drops and also read somewhere to try Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo as an eyelid scrub. It is supposed to take off any extra makeup and soothe the eyes. Mine are puffy too and the dryness is driving me nuts.

The inside of my nose is also really dry and if you have that problem I was told to get AYR nasal gel. I bought that today too and it is working great so far.
