Wakatsuki Yumi: Story of Eyelid Surgery



               On Nov. 14th, Wakatsuki Yumi admitted to receiving eyelid surgery in her first year of high school. She stated that she had Epiblepharon, or inverted eyelashes, a medical condition in which your eyelashes grow into your eyes instead of outwards. This leads to the eyelashes scratching your cornea. Her doctor told her that it would contribute to blindness if untreated. Yumi said that there were other treatments to cure inverted eyelids, such as burning off the eyelashes or cutting them off; however, they were only temporary. She hopes that she can speak out to the people with the same condition by voicing out her cosmetic procedure.
