    You got me wondering about this @spikey,

    My conclusion is the eyeball isn’t as wide as it first appears, because of the shape of the surrounding area and the Lacrimal Caruncle, it is perceived to be much wider.

    On closer inspection, I theorise that the eyeball is in fact approximately 24mm.

    Looking at the image above of the right eye, with a sphere of 25mm and the image scaled using the ruler and sphere as a guide, the eyeball does indeed appear to be within the maximum size according to the chart.

    Keep in mind also the ruler is closer to the camera than the actual eyeball point of measurement.

    Now onto dissection of the eyeball. 👀
