Wide set or close set eyes?
Measure the gap between your inner eye corners and compare it with the average width of your two eyes. See the distances drawn on your photo and understand the one-eye-width comparison.

Understand the comparison
One gap. Two eye widths.
These schematic examples hold both eye widths constant and change only the gap. Real faces can differ in all three distances. The examples are not category boundaries.
Smaller relative gap
Equal distances
Larger relative gap
A reference, not a rule for every face.
The historical orbital canon compares inner-corner distance with eye width. Research documents substantial variation, so equality should not be treated as a universal target. Our ratio describes this photo; it does not diagnose eye spacing or infer anatomy from a population average.

How it is measured
Inner-corner gap ÷ average eye width.
The gold line joins the inner eye corners. Each blue line joins the inner and outer corners of one eye. All three are straight-line distances in the image; the average of the two blue lengths is the denominator. This ratio is unchanged by geometrically rotating or uniformly resizing the same points, although a new model detection may place those points slightly differently.
- Inner-corner gap (A)
- Distance between the two inner eye corners. This is different from pupil-to-pupil distance.
- Average eye width (B)
- Add the photo-left and photo-right corner-to-corner widths, then divide by two. Both individual widths are shown.
- Spacing ratio
- A ÷ B. 1.00 means the gap equals the average eye width. Lower means a smaller gap relative to eye width; higher means a larger one.
- What is not measured
- No millimetres, depth, skeletal diagnosis or attractiveness score. This is also different from ESR, which divides pupil span by face width.

FAQ
How do I tell whether my eyes are wide set or close set?+
A common visual comparison looks at the inner-corner gap relative to one eye width. A larger gap is often described as wider-set and a smaller gap as closer-set. This tool reports the ratio using the average width of both eyes, without applying a clinical or beauty cutoff.
Is one eye width the ideal spacing?+
No. The one-eye-width rule is a historical facial proportion convention, not a universal normal range or an attractiveness target. Published measurements show variation across individuals and populations. A ratio above or below 1.00 is not by itself a problem.
Is this the same as interpupillary distance or ESR?+
No. Interpupillary distance runs from pupil centre to pupil centre. ESR in Symmi's facial-ratios tool divides that distance by cheekbone width. This page divides the inner-corner gap by average eye width; these numbers should not be compared as if they used the same formula.
Why use the average of both eyes?+
The two eye widths can differ in a photo. Averaging makes the reference explicit rather than choosing one side, and the individual widths remain visible so you can check them.
Can a photo change the result?+
Yes. Turning your face, perspective, squinting, obscured corners and landmark placement can change the estimate. Use a front-facing photo with an eye-level camera and even light. Roll alone does not change the straight-line geometry, but a different image can change detection.
Can I use this for glasses measurements?+
No. This is a unitless photo proportion and does not provide calibrated pupil distance in millimetres for fitting lenses.
Is my photo uploaded?+
No. Landmark detection, measurement and annotation run in your browser.
