The appearances of the ‘East Asian eyelid’ can be categorized into three main categories: single eyelid, low eyelid crease, and double eyelid. People with Chinese ancestry can be easily recognized by the unique appearance of the eye as they have a narrower vertical palpebral fissure and an absence of a supra-tarsal fold compared to other races. Therefore, patients and eye care practitioners should be aware of the potential implications of double eyelid tape wear on ocular health, with no significant change in subjective comfort.įacial structure and appearance can be distinguished between different ethnicities due to genetics. There was no significant change in symptoms and subjective comfort level reported. By week 3, all participants had incomplete blinks. There was a significant increase in conjunctival staining, corneal staining, and meibomian gland dysfunction, with a significant reduction in tear break-up time and intraocular pressure. The parameters were re-measured at the end of each week. Participants were required to apply the double eyelid tape for at least eight hours a day and five days a week for four weeks. The participants’ anterior ocular health was examined including blinking characteristics (blink pattern and blink rate), ocular surface health (presence of corneal abrasion, corneal staining, conjunctival staining, corneal curvatures, meibomian gland dysfunction), tear break up time, intraocular pressure, and subjective comfort level. Twenty-nine participants who met the inclusion criteria were recruited. This study evaluated the effects of four-week wear of double eyelid tape on anterior ocular health in young adult women with single eyelids. Many East Asians apply double eyelid tape to create the double eyelid effect temporarily as a means of increasing their beauty.
