Canthal Tilt Explained: Positive, Neutral, and Negative
Canthal tilt is the angle of the line between an eye’s inner and outer corners. It describes one visible relationship—not the whole shape of an eye.
The three common descriptions
Positive tilt means the outer corner appears higher than the inner corner in an upright, frontal view. Neutral means the corners appear approximately level. Negative means the outer corner appears lower.
Look Maximize estimates this angle for each eye after aligning the eye-center axis. The report uses Eye A and Eye B for its mesh groups rather than promising anatomical left and right across mirrored camera previews.
Canthal tilt = angle of the inner-to-outer eye-corner line
Where to find it in your report
Open More measurements to see the separate eye descriptors. The angle is shown in degrees. Its comparison marker is a projected canonical-model reference, not a medically acceptable interval.
These additional descriptors do not add points to the main score. The scoring categories and weights are published separately, so you can distinguish a measured feature from a feature that actually affects the experimental reference.
Does positive tilt mean “hunter eyes”?
“Hunter eyes” is a looksmaxxing term used for a collection of appearances around the eyes. People use it to discuss opening, lid exposure, brow position, and corner angles. There is no single corner angle that captures all of those details.
The current single-photo report does not assign a hunter-eye classification. It reports separate geometry where available. That gives you more specific information than labeling an entire eye area from one angle.
Why head position matters
A tilted head can change the angle you see on a screen. A turned head can also change the projected shape of the eye. Aligning the image reduces roll, but it does not reconstruct a perfect three-dimensional view.
Keep your head level and compare readings from the same camera setup. If one eye is hidden or a descriptor is unavailable, a new clear capture is more useful than guessing a missing value.
