[[File:Epicanthic Fold.jpg|thumb|300x300px|This image highlights the epicanthic folds in a person of [[Mongol]] descent.]]
Variation in the shape of the epicanthic fold has led to four types being recognised:

* '''''Epicanthus supraciliaris''''' runs from the brow, curving downwards towards the [[lachrymal sac]].
* '''''Epicanthus palpebralis''''' begins above the upper [[Tarsus (eyelids)|tarsus]] and extends to the inferior orbital rim.
* '''''Epicanthus tarsalis''''' originates at the upper eyelid crease and merges into the skin near the medial canthus. This is the type most often found in East Asians.
* '''''Epicanthus inversus''''' runs from the lower eyelid skin over the medial canthus and extends to the upper lid.<ref>Nguyen, M.Q., Hsu, P.W. and Dinh, T.A. (2009) ''Asian Blepharoplasty'', Semin Plast Surg. 2009 Aug; 23(3), pp. 185–197 doi: 10.1055/s-0029-1224798, p. 189</ref>
