Double eyelids - Double eyelids

Japanese: 二重まぶた(二重瞼) - ふたえまぶた
Double eyelids - Double eyelids
This refers to the upper eyelid appearing double due to the presence of an upper eyelid sulcus. It is also called "nijuken" or double eyelid. When the position of the upper eyelid sulcus descends to coincide with the front edge of the upper eyelid, it appears to be a single eyelid from the front, but this is called a pseudosingle eyelid or pseudosingle eyelid. Double eyelids are common among Europeans. Even among the major Mongoloid races, they are common among Thais and Malays (85-95%), but somewhat rare among Chinese and Koreans. The incidence rate among Japanese is about 60-75%. It is over 90% among the Ainu.
