double eyelid
Fold above lashes
A double eyelid has a visible crease above the lash line, creating a fold when the eye is open.
The term arises from its contrast with monolids, common among East Asians, which lack this crease.
Double eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in Asia: She got double eyelid surgery before her wedding.
