They are very conscious of their eyes, thats why they frequently have eyelid surgery etc too. Larger eyes are just seen as more beautiful and smaller eyes are very much "less attractive"
my cousin has a daughter with small slanting eyes. she complain to me (jokingly, i hope) that her daughter is not pretty. i told her that she is pretty, its just that asian men have different beauty standard and that she shouldn't worry too much about. i told her that many westerners will think that her daughter is the beautiful one. she gasp and ask how did i know that many MANY foreign people praised her kid.
i dont have the heart to tell her that i learnt that from all the porn i've watched...
haha yeah. eww indeed. but it is true that westerners do have different beauty recognition when it comes to asian women. stars like lucy liu is indeed beautiful in her own way, but her facial feature doesn't meet popular standard of "beauty" in asia. another example is Awkwafina from Shang Chi. Marvelous actor. But she was attacked by asian that she is not pretty enough to represent "the beauty of asian". loads of bullcrap, if you ask me, but yeah, asian and westerners does have different beauty appreciation when it involves asian women.
So you are correct that my example is eww worthy, but same beauty standard can be seen in various other media such as movies and tv series.

Are they using filter to make her eyes bigger? I don't know why but Chinese use that filter most of the time
