- 1Plural of eyelid.

Note
A closed compound takes its plural at the end, like any ordinary noun: eye plus lid, and only lid changes. The possessive plural puts the apostrophe after the s (the eyelids' edges). In description the plural is often the natural choice, paired with words for weight and movement: heavy eyelids, drooping eyelids, eyelids that flutter, sting or close.
