ABSTRACT
The purpose of the present study was focused the anthropometric charateristics of normal Korean eyes, including inclination, height, width, epicanthus and upper eyelid crease. The author measured normal eyes and investigated incidence of epicanthal fold and upper eyelid crease in 774 males and 658 females with photographs. The epicanthus were classified by three types and the upper eyelid crease were classified by four types. The angle of inclination of eyes was larger in females than males and in young ages than old ages. Incidence of the slanting eye over 10 degree was 34.1 % in males and 41.0% in females. Incidence of the epicanthal fold was 57.0%, and there was no difference between males and females. The most common type of the epicanthal fold was type I. Incidence of the upper eyelid crease was 30.9% in males, 47.2% in females. The most common type of the upper eyelid crease was parallel (or floating) type. In conclusion, the anthropometric characteristics of normal Korean or oriental eyes are apart each other and slanting eyes in addition to puffy eyelid, narrow palpebral fissure, presence of epicanthal fold and absence of upper eyelid crease.
