Nine out of ten people have dark under eye circles below their lower eyelids.
Some people have their skin thinner than that of others.
The skin under the eye is specially so. Hence blood passing through veins under it gives it a blue tinge which appears as dark under eye circles.
Also the skin under the eye is more vulnerable to sun tanning than the rest of the skin on the body elsewhere.
Rubbing or scratching the eye too tends to darken the skin under it.
Medication causing the blood vessels to dilate allow increased blood flow through the veins which shows under the eyes the most, in the form of these dark circles under the eyes.
Lack of nutrition causes discoloration of the area under the eyes.
Lack of sleep or excessive fatigue causes skin to turn pale and as it does so, the blood under the skin below eyes shows more as a dark patch than anywhere else on the body.
The same do the pregnancy and menstruation to show the dark under eye circles more pronounced than anywhere else on he body.
Age seems to sag the skin, drooping the eyelids - both upper and lower; and generating bags over there, making dark under eye circles even more pronounced.

But why does the skin sag at all? Why don't we have a taut skin on our body and face till the last day of our life?
It's because we don't keep it taut.
We drop our body and we drop our face.
We don't hold them properly.
In fact, we never keep it held straight.
We bend it!
Whether we are sitting, standing, walking, or even lying down.
Something is there very seriously wrong somewhere in the dynamic posture of the body.
Whatever this wrong is, is obstructing the normal (!) working of the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems; and hence everything goes haywire, dark under eye circles being but one single manifestation of it.
This wrong is to be turned right, and everything falls in place....all the pieces of jig-saw puzzle fit into each other right!
That's what third eye opening does to us, and vision therapy deals with all such problems as dark under eye circles through opening the third eye turning the dynamic posture of the body right.
