I know there are many of us afflicted by creases and crinkles under the eyes. The degree may vary, as do the causes for wrinkles on the skin below the eye.

The sun, dryness, and smoking and poor nutrition also lead to thinning of the skin which will result in this problem.

Also, people naturally look at your eyes when they encounter you. We tend to focus on the eye area when looking at ourselves in the mirror, meaning we are more likely to notice wrinkles around the eye more than on other parts of the face.
How you sleep, rather sleeping with one side of your face squashed into the pillow always can also give you eye wrinkles even in relatively young people.
