canthus

n., pl., -thi (-thī').
The angle formed by the meeting of the upper and lower eyelids at either side of the eye.

[Late Latin, from Greek kanthos.]

Pl. canthi; the angular junction of the eyelids at either corner of the eyes, the angles of the palpebral fissure, the medial and lateral canthi.

• medial c. — the medial angle formed by the eyelids.
• recessed medial c. syndrome — in many brachycephalic breeds, a deeply recessed medial canthus leads to medial entropion.
