Many years ago, it was assumed that having a double eyelid made the eyes look pretty. Hence, most double eyelid surgeries did not consider the size and shape of an individual’s eyes and simply just created a crease. However, nowadays, trends have started to change. So, it has become more common to have epicanthoplasty, lateral canthoplasty or ptosis correction with the double eyelid surgery. Large and defined eyes can give off a bright and lively impression.

If the symptoms aren’t severe, it could be easily treated with lubricating ointments or artificial tears, but more complicated remedies must be given in case of severe symptoms or children in their development period.
