    Thanks @melinmotion the far sightedness has to do with the depth (front to back) of the eyeball if I’m not mistaken, not the width.

    If you measure from edge to caruncle, you don’t get the whole eyeball, otherwise your eyelid ould cover a half circle (180°) and the tangents of the extremes of the eyelids would be paralel…

    Still, I can’t imagine all those reports being wrong (unless the eyes have shrunk before they could measure them and they hadn’t considered that, but modern methods measure them without first taking them out, with CT for instance, so that can’t be it either)), but I find it really hard to wrap eyelids around such small eyeballs….I hink I’ll just cheat and make them around 30 mm…that way I can make the eyelids look all right (Anatomic Lex also has Eyeball around that size, so I feel comfortable to do that).
