Do you ever wake up with different eyelids?

[Gleam]

lol And here I thought I might be the only one! Yes, this happens to me -- but mostly to my right eye.

 

[baBidoLL]

yeah sometimes when my eyes are swollen...one will get a puffier eyelid and have an extra little crease in it? i dont know, its hard to explain lol, but its really annoying..i usually try to get rid of it by putting a cold compress on my eye to get rid of the swelling.

 

[Totakeke]

Yeah, I'm jumping on the Asian-uneven-eyelid bandwagon here. I just slap on my eyemask to deflate the puffiness and sort of...pinch my eyelid I guess? Then I sort of look in every direction and pray that it matches my other eyelid. It usually works. My friend told me she uses tape. I don't know, it sounds painful.

EWw uglly deformed eyelids

I KNOW im going to get a weird eyelid tomorrow because i have been crying for hours. i juss wanted to find a site that had soulitions. and yee IM ASIAN TOO. but yeeh its so freakkiin UGGGLLLLLYYYYYY. well im gonan try the put cold stuff on it and taping it. cuz honestly when i look ugly i feel ugly. orr im juss gonna rock sunglasses but its winter so i might look like an idiot

 

[mousquerader]

Wow, I didn't now so many other people had the same problem as me! Every morning when I wake up, my left eyelid feels a little heavier than the right. After I get up and wash my face though, it goes away. I think that my left eye is the "weird" one though... I don't know how to explain it. It's so weird! And yeah, I'm also asian.

I do the pinching thing too. haha. I use eyelid tape sometimes.. it's not painful but it's sort of a hassle

Oooh! it happened to me again this morning! Woke up with both tiny double eyelids gone. I stuck a piece of surgical tape on each side after my shower and left them on until I reached work. After that, it was back to my normal lids.

 

[mousquerader]

How does the tape thing work?

The crease of my left eye changes a lot. Sometimes it looks like my right eye is bigger than my left eye. It's so weird. I don't get it. Is it because my eyelids have too much fat (even though I'm not fat at all) or something? I've never had this problem before last year. Oh, and it seems that every morning when I wake up, there's a ring of retained fluid near the lashline on my eyelid on both eyes.

Bumping the thread back into the present..

 

[ameliargh]

hmmm... i think this happens only to asians... most prob cos we don't have deep eyebrow bones! but yeah... i had a what i call "triple eyelid" for almost a week now... sucks cos it looks as if one of my eyes is swollen........ .......... n no i haven't been crying... haven't been studying late nite... or ANYTHING... i just get it sometimes... really really annoying! i jus keep on pinching it making it look normal for like 2 seconds n then back to normal when i blink! annoying... i usually get it in winter when my eyelids are dry somehow i get those multiple eyelids... oh well... i jus hope it's not permanent...............

 

[RedGloves]

yes, this always happens after i've cried before going to bed, i'm also asian

but i've also noticed when i was in the fifth grade that my left eyelid was starting to get bigger than my right. it still is now. but its gotten better.. i think its just fat thats making it wierd. i remember i gained a lot of weight that grade

my right eye has one small/thin eyelid and my left ..looks like i have 1 1/2 ..

i just hope that as i lose more weight it goes back to normal

 

[Archipelago]

Wow. I didn't know that so many other asian girls had this problem. I get this all the time, especially when I oversleep. It always happens to my right eye, never the left one. I just wash my face and kind of squeeze my eyelid lightly so it falls back into the natural crease. Sometimes I have to do this several times before it stays. It's so annoying. I also only sleep lying on my right side. Do you think that expains why the puffing only happens to my right eye?

 

[MySweetSeptember]

Yes, I have rather large eyelids, and when I am sleepy or cried alot they swell and droop. Sometimes I get triple lids too.

I know this is common with my asian friends, sometimes they come to school with one single and one double. usually not that noticable, but they like to point it out =D

 

[fourboltmain]

I can now say I feel the pain of you ladies. A few nights ago I got no kind of sleep, only to go to school early. Anyway, I looked in the mirror and I looked like a frog. And now I understand.

 

[vanilla fairy]

unfortunatly i do.. :l
if i had from a good cry the night before, the puffieness seems to last a bit longer, but usually the other days it disappears after washing my face w\ icey water ..
i've heared about cold green tea bags that it does magic, never used'em though..

 

[frenchconnectionuk]

haha this happens to me all the time. i have asian eyes and one of my eyes has more of an eyelid than the other...so once i woke up and looked in the mirror and i was all happy cause my eyes evened out, lol

 

[lick1987]

used to happen to me ALL THE TIME. Before I 'discovered' eyelid tape, i used to worry before waking up every morning that I'd have uneven eyelids. They've evened out more since I've grown up a bit, but still occasionally happens, especially if I've had too much or not enough sleep.

 

[light_sparkles]

I'm having this problem right now. It started about 2 days ago and it won't go away o.O
I can't remember the last time I cried, so it must have some thing to do with sleep. it's quite annoying!

 

[ShuggaStiletto]

yess happens quite a bit to me. I was born w/ one eye closed...meaning like the eyelids were still fused together by skin that they had to cut out, so one eyelid's a little droopy. Not that noticeable, but I can feel it! The muscles probably didn't develop right around my eye correctly..pshh oh well!
