The canthus (pl.: canthi, palpebral commissures) is either corner of the eye where the upper and lower eyelids meet. [1] More specifically, the inner and outer canthi are, respectively, the medial and lateral ends/angles of the palpebral fissure. The bicanthal plane is the transversal plane linking both canthi and defines the upper boundary of ...
An epicanthic fold or epicanthus [6] is a skin fold of the upper eyelid that covers the inner corner (medial canthus) of the eye. [3] However, variation occurs in the nature of this feature and the possession of "partial epicanthic folds" or "slight epicanthic folds" is noted in the relevant literature.
The palpebral fissure is the elliptic space between the medial and lateral canthi of the two open eyelids. In simple terms, it is the opening between the eyelids. In adult humans, this measures about 10 mm vertically and 30 mm horizontally.
Orbitomeatal line is a positioning line used in radiography of the skull. [1] It passes through the outer canthus of the eye and the center of the external auditory meatus.It is used for positioning the patient for different radiographic views including Water's view, Perorbital view, Lateral view, and others.

The left and right eye see different, seemingly random, dot patterns; a person viewing through both eyes sees a combination of both left and right visual field disturbances. While seeing the phenomenon, lightly pressing inward on the sides of the eyeballs at the lateral canthus causes the movement to stop being fluid and the dots to move only ...
Canthotomy (also called lateral canthotomy and canthotomy with cantholysis) is a surgical procedure where the lateral canthus, or corner, of the eye is cut to relieve the fluid pressure inside or behind the eye, known as intraocular pressure (IOC). [1]
A canthoplasty is plastic surgery at the canthus. [33] A canthorrhaphy is suturing of the outer canthus to shorten the palpebral fissure. [33] A canthotomy is the surgical division of the canthus, usually the outer canthus. [33] A lateral canthotomy is the surgical division of the outer canthus. Epicanthoplasty
