Puffy eyes are usually caused by edema, which is the presence of excess fluid in the subcutaneous spaces around the eye. It accumulates usually when one is lying down during sleep and slowly disappears upon waking when the head is higher than the rest of the body.

Puffy eyes, in many cases, are caused by a number of things, for example, lack of sleep, a diet high in salt, drinking excess alcohol, or an improper contact lens fit.

Puffy gums are also known as hyperplasia. But you don't need a big word to know that it's a signal of gum inflammation. Inflammation causes changes in the size, shape and color of your gum tissues, and it's almost always caused by bacterial plaque.

Bacterial plaque is that white, sticky film you can see and feel around and under the brackets, wires and bonding cements of your braces.

Both eyes may be treated by LASIK or PRK during the same procedure. The advantage of bilateral surgery is that it is more convenient to have both eyes done at once.
