The Prevalence of Double Eyelid and the 3D Measurement of Orbital Soft Tissue in Malays and Chinese

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of double eyelid among two main Mongoloid ethnicities, the Malays and Chinese who reside in Malaysia. We also measured their periorbital tissue parameters for application in anthropology, optometry, ophthalmology, oculoplastic surgery and maxillofacial tr...
