EYELID ANATOMY VARIATIONS IN CENTRAL ASIAN POPULATION
Keywords:
eyelid anatomy, anatomical variations, Central Asian population, palpebral structure, eyelid morphology, orbital region, ophthalmology, cosmetic considerations, anthropological diversity, ethnic features.Abstract
The anatomy of the eyelid represents a crucial aspect of the facial
structure, holding functional, aesthetic, and cultural significance across various
populations. Within the Central Asian region, where diverse ethnic groups and historic
population migration intersect, eyelid anatomy displays notable variations. Analyzing
these morphological differences not only enhances clinical understanding, especially
in areas of ophthalmology and reconstructive surgery, but also brings insight into
anthropological identity and regional genetics. The central focus of this exploration is
to delineate the structure and diversity of eyelid anatomy observed among Central
Asian peoples, identifying patterns, medical implications, and their broader importance
in societal and aesthetic contexts.
