Eyes of Beautiful Women and Femme Fatales Depicted in Western Portraits

초록

Purpose : This study aimed to compare the eyes of beautiful women and femme fatales depicted in Western portraits. Methods : A total of 37 samples were collected; 19 beautiful women and 18 femme fatales. Nine aspects were measured in reference to the corneal horizontal diameter. The estimated corneal vertical diameter was calculated by a corneal orizontal diameter multiply constant, 1.11. Results : For the 7 measurements (The presence or absence of double-fold, the eye-width ratio, the eye-height ratio, eyebrow-to-upper lid distance, the interpupillary distance, the intercanthal distance, the outer canthal distance, the ptosis amount), there were no significant differences between the 2 groups (P>0.05, t test).It is noteworthy that the beautiful women and femme fatales have the same interpupillary distance (5.00). Also, the ptosis ratio was almost zero in both groups (0.01 [SD, 0.18] in the beautiful women and 0.06 [SD, 0.01] in the femme fatales).
