Cultural Note
'Ojeras' comes from 'ojo' (eye). In Spain, where late nights are part of the culture, having ojeras is common and often commented on. The word is specifically used for dark circles, while 'bolsas' (bags) refers to puffiness under the eyes. Both are frequent topics at Spanish pharmacies.
