A Parent's Guide to Psychoeducational Evaluations. The goal of a psychoeducational evaluation is to enhance a childâs ability to be as successful as possible. As parents, we strive to help our children as much as possible. Despite our best efforts, however, we may see them struggling in some areas.
Conditions like fluid imbalance or local swelling that lead to puffy or swollen eyelids can cause shadows that make the area under the eyes appear darker. Trauma (a  black eye ) can cause darkening of the entire eye area. Some people notice that dark circles under the eyes tend to run in families, as well. In most cases, dark circles under the eyes are not a sign of a serious medical condition.
By Mayo Clinic Staff. Bags under eyes â mild swelling or puffiness under the eyes â are common as you age.

Normal fat that helps support the eyes can then move into the lower eyelids, causing the lids to appear puffy. Fluid also may accumulate in the space below your eyes, adding to the swelling.
