Most Asians have what is called an 'epicanthal fold' to a greater or lesser extent. An epicanthal fold, epicanthic fold, or epicanthus is a skin fold of the upper eyelid (from the nose to the inner side of the eyebrow) covering the inner corner (medial canthus) of the human eye.
The presence of an epicanthal fold is seen in people of East Asian and Southeast Asian descent, as well as other ethnic groups including some Native Americans and Africans. Epicanthal folds may also be seen in young children of any race before the bridge of the nose begins to elevate.
I have not been able to find any evidence of loss of peripheral vision in people with epicanthic folds. I would imagine that as long as the pupil of the eye was not obscured, then their vision (including peripheral) should be just fine.Is it true chinese people dont have perifual vision? (i dont know how to spell that)...?
Peripheral vision?
I would think they'd have more of it than most, especially the ones involved in the Warrior / Fighting arts class.Is it true chinese people dont have perifual vision? (i dont know how to spell that)...?
I believe peripheral vision is glaucoma or tunnel vision. I haven't heard of Chinese having this disorder, however, Asians as a whole are near sighted. I have read it's caused by generations of eating only fish.
