I don't have double eyelids, but I also don't need glasses. Of the two, I think I lucked out.

I'm asian and I don't but I want to get the surgery done. My eye lashes point downwards so it's EXTREMELY annoying when I'm using a microscope (a good portion of the day sometimes).

It all started in the 70s when they started making all those "Black Belt Theater" movies for the US. They wanted to appear more "Western" so they had plastic surgery on their eyelids.

I also have double eyelids. I actually have big eyes for being Japanese. My wife tells me I look like a gold Egyptian mummy coffin thingy...
My vision was 20:800-1000. I got lasik, so I'm 20:20 now! Lasik FTW!

lol. From a fairly large "sample" that I've seen, probably 90%. And thanks to a thread 3 months ago here, I found out that I have very nice and natural double eyelids, unlike many others that I've seen who've clearly elected to operate.

My eyelids roll up and down like a projector screen.

Be careful, though. If you pull them down to quick they'll spin around all crazy!
