EYES: A person is generally said to have wide-set eyes if the distance between each eye is wider than an eye socket. Conversely, eyes that are "close together" are generally separated by a distance that is shorter in width than an eye socket. People with average eye distance have eyes that are separated by a distance equal to the width of an eye socket. Eyes can be bulging, open wide, deep set or "squinty." Eye lids can be hooded, partially hooded or not hooded at all. Eye lids can be changed with cosmetic surgery, but the odds of changing distance and set of the eyes is extremely slim.
