Epicanthus supraciliaris runs from the brow, curving downwards towards the lachrymal sac. Epicanthus palpebralis begins above the upper tarsus and extends to the inferior orbital rim. Epicanthus tarsalis originates at the upper eyelid crease and merges into the skin near the medial canthus. This is the type most often found in East Asians.
Blepharophimosis forms a part of blepharophimosis, ptosis, epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES), also called blepharophimosis syndrome, which is an autosomal dominant condition characterised by blepharophimosis, ptosis (upper eyelid drooping), epicanthus inversus (skin folds by the nasal bridge, more prominent lower than upper lid) and telecanthus (widening of the distance between the inner ...

The canthus (pl.: canthi, palpebral commissures) is either corner of the eye where the upper and lower eyelids meet. [1] More specifically, the inner and outer canthi are, respectively, the medial and lateral ends/angles of the palpebral fissure.
The anterior attachment of the medial palpebral ligament is to the frontal process of the maxilla in front of the lacrimal groove (near the nasal bone and the frontal bone), [1] and its posterior attachment is the lacrimal bone.
The tarsi (sg.: tarsus) or tarsal plates are two comparatively thick, elongated plates of dense connective tissue, about 10 mm (0.39 in) in length for the upper eyelid and 5 mm for the lower eyelid; one is found in each eyelid, and contributes to its form and support.
