Eye, Deeply Set

Definition:

Objective: An eye that is more deeply recessed into the plane of the face than is typical

Comments:

This finding should be distinguished from a prominent supraorbital ridge or inferior orbital margin. In Deeply set eyes, the globe is recessed in comparison to the overall prominence of the face. There is no known objective measurement, and diagnosing this feature depends heavily on the experience of the observer.

Synonyms:

• Sunken Eyes
