A member asked:

When i was young i had big round eyes but as i grew older it was narrower and not big. other asians eyes didn't change. what could be the reason?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common pathway: Many as they age will have a narrowing of the eye opening. This is quite variable from person to person. Your sampling must be too small if you find that "other Asians" do not have this problem - they do.
