Does EVERYONE come out of the pool with deep goggle impressions around their eyes? I'm 51 y/o and don't need extra bags or creases! The goggle marks diminish eventually, of course, but stay fairly noticeable for hours. I have to strap them on tight to keep water out and fog. Anyone have the perfect goggles to recommend? Or this is just par for the course?

I'm with Heidi. I wear the TYR socket rockets, and they don't leak, or leave horrible little rings around my eyes.
I've also used the Speedo Women's Vanquisher, and they work wonderfully as well.
Perhaps, if y'all are having trouble with rings, and have to tighten your goggles so much that they leave marks on your eyes, you aren't wearing the right goggles for your face shape/eye width.
Simple test: Press your goggles to your eyes without putting the straps over your head. Without making any funny faces or scrunching your nose up, if the goggles don't stay suctioned for at least a few seconds, they're going to leak unless you imbed them into your sockets.
