'''Hunter eyes''' is forum slang for a periorbital bundle: deep-set globe, neutral-to-[[canthal tilt|positive canthal tilt]], low brow close to the [[supraorbital rim]], compact almond [[palpebral fissure]], and little [[upper eyelid exposure]].<ref name="lmwp">{{cite web |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looksmaxxing |title=Looksmaxxing |website=Wikipedia |access-date=10 September 2026}}</ref> The antonym on the same boards is [[prey eyes]]. It is not zoology.

The bony part is [[orbit]] depth and brow ridge. The lid part is tendons, skin, and fat. Lighting, squint, and “look down into the camera” fake a little. Rubbing the orbital rim does not remodel the socket. Surgery, if any, is oculoplastic or craniofacial — and lid retraction after bad rim work is in [[surgical pitfalls]].
