Identifying your eye shape involves examining key features. Here's a breakdown to help you determine yours, referencing information from NVISION Eye Centers:
Identifying Your Eye Shape
Understanding the subtle differences can help you identify your eye shape effectively. Look closely in a mirror and note the following characteristics:
Key Characteristics to Observe:
-
Round Eyes:
- A good indicator of round eyes is if you can see a bit of white of your eye above and below the iris (the colored part of your eye).
- Additionally, a visible eyelid crease is a common feature of round eyes.
-
Down-Turned Eyes:
- If the outer corners of your eyes appear to point downwards, you likely have down-turned eyes.
-
Hooded Eyes:
- A key indicator of hooded eyes is a skin flap that hides or obscures your eyelid crease.
Detailed Guide in Table Format:
| Eye Shape | Description |
|---|---|
| Round | White of the eye is visible above and below the colored iris; you have a clearly visible eyelid crease. |
| Down-Turned | The outer corners of your eyes turn downwards. |
| Hooded | The eyelid crease is not easily visible or is covered by a skin fold. |
By observing these characteristics, you can identify your eye shape accurately. Remember to look directly in a mirror and compare your eye's features against the characteristics described above.
