Hello,
As you mentioned that you are a student and use laptop a lot, you must be aware of the thing that continuous use of laptop for prolonged duration causes adverse effects on eyes. Lack of sleep and stress are another factors responsible for dark circles around eyes. Do you wear glasses? have you noticed if the dark impression between your nose and eyes is because of the use of spectacles as it is commonly seen in people who wear glasses for vision improvement.
As you have not mentioned any eye sight problem or pain arpund eyes, still I would suggest you to see an ophthalmologist and get your eyes checked if you have not done it in recent times. Make sure you sleep enough which is very important. For the dark circles there are some ayurvedic treatment options available which you can try with an ayurvedic doctor’s advice. There are some eye exercises that can help.
Take sufficient rest and sleep and make sure you take breaks while using laptop.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
