Is this an example of epicanthal folds on asian eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes - usually: Epicanthal folds are an inherited characteristic common in central Asian races - chinese, japanese, korean, eastern russians and mongolians. It is not found in southeast asians such as vietnamese, cambodians, indians and indonesians. It may serve as a protective covering for the eyes and perhaps a sunscreen.
