What Is Canthal Tilt?

Canthal tilt describes the angle of the line connecting the inner corner of the eye (medial canthus) to the outer corner of the eye (lateral canthus). In ophthalmology and anthropometry, this angle is known as the palpebral fissure inclination. To evaluate overall ocular morphology, visit our Eye Shape Test.

Positive Canthal Tilt (+2° to +8°)

The lateral canthus (outer corner) rests visibly higher than the medial canthus (inner corner). Frequently associated with an alert, uplifted eye shape.

Neutral Canthal Tilt (-1.5° to +1.5°)

The inner and outer corners sit almost horizontally parallel to the inter-pupillary baseline.

Negative Canthal Tilt (-2° to -7°)

The outer corner sits lower than the medial corner, creating a classic downturned or gentle aesthetic.

Rotation Compensation (Scientific Precision)

FaceMora's engine automatically calculates the roll angle of your head using both inner canthi landmarks and un-rotates the coordinate space before measuring the tilt. This prevents accidental false positive or negative readings caused by tilting your head slightly in a selfie.

Frequently Asked Questions

Canthal tilt is the anatomical inclination angle of the line connecting the inner corner of the eye (medial canthus) to the outer corner (lateral canthus).
A positive canthal tilt means the outer eye corner sits higher than the inner corner, giving an uplifted, alert appearance.
FaceMora automatically un-rotates the facial landmark coordinates using the inter-pupillary baseline to ensure true angle measurements regardless of minor head tilt.
