As a young man I played ice hockey. I played before the advent of the helmit rule. We players were always aware of the possibility of injury, but this was part of the inherint danger of the game. I was hit many times in each eye. One time I remember being hit with a fellow team members stick. My eye was cut badly enough for me to receive many stitches. After my hockey playing years were over my eyes darkened, to the point of racoon like. People would comment about the darkness. I used my sisters makup many times to cover (for a short time) my scars. After years of no action I finally asked a dermatoligist for help. I was given a type of silicone cream to use, and after a few months my eyes cleared. Today, 35 years later my eyes are aging without the dark and noticeable circles around my eyes. Thanks to all that helped me.
