Abstract:
Eyes are an important part of facial morphology. The study of eye morphology is of great value in exploring human growth and establishing eye database. Its shape and size are influenced by factors such as gender, age, and ethnic group. The related literature on eye morphology mainly includes the following aspects: gender, age, and ethnic differences of eye morphological variation; factors affecting eye shape variation; eyelid shape; eye symmetry research; eye morphology and epicanthus; measurement of eye shape related parameters; related application of eye morphology, etc. By sorting out and summarizing the research data and conclusion of related literature, this article briefly outlines the research on eye morphology and the measurement method of eye parameters, furthermore, it gives a brief review and outlook on the research of eye morphology in China.
