Eye SpacingHow AI measures this feature and photo tips
Eye spacing measures the distance between the inner eye corners relative to eye width. Balanced spacing — roughly one eye-width between eyes — correlates with symmetry scores in AI face analysis.

Facial Symmetry
Facial symmetry measures left-right correspondence of landmarks — eyes, brows, nostrils, lip corners, and jaw contour. Near-symmetry correlates with higher harmony scores, though perfect symmetry is rare and unnatural.
Nose
The nose anchors midface proportion — its width, length, and projection balance the eyes and mouth. Nasal geometry interacts with facial thirds and contributes to profile harmony in AI analysis.
Forehead
Forehead height and width define the upper third of the face. A wide or high forehead influences heart and oval classifications, while a narrow forehead characterises triangle and some diamond shapes.
FAQ — Eye Spacing
What is ideal eye spacing?
The classic guideline is one eye-width of space between the inner corners. Significant deviation creates wide-set or close-set classification.
Does eye spacing affect attractiveness?
Extreme spacing can affect harmony scores, but moderate variation is common and often unnoticed in overall impressions.
Wide-set vs close-set eyes?
Wide-set eyes have more than one eye-width between inner corners; close-set eyes have less. Both are normal population variants.
