Slant of the EyesMany people thinkthat the only eye that slants upward is that of an Oriental person.In fact, all normal eyes slant slightlyupward laterally.Therefore, what youdescribe is normal.Occasionally the eyewill slant downward as we age and the tendon that attaches the eyelid to thelateral orbital rim loosens.This is oneof the things that makes the aging eye look sad or tired.Elevating the eye laterally, therefore, isone of the things that is done during cosmetic blepharoplasty to rejuvenate theeye.
