The depth and amount of eyelid skin on each person’s face is highly variable. Despite these intricate variations, we often focus on simple differences such as the presence or absence of double lid creases and epicanthal folds. While these two features are indeed helpful to identify, our eyelids are built with much more detail.

Whether or not a double eyelid crease or an epicanthal fold is present, there are plenty of other lid folds to pay attention to. These folds come in different shapes, sizes, and locations and rest within all kinds of eye types from across the world.
