Telecanthus

Telecanthus literally means that the corners of the eyes (canthi) are far away (tele) from each other
It is a condition in which the intercanthal distance is greater than the width of the eye
- Normal range of intercanthal distance is 30-35mm
In this, the interpupillary distance remains normal
Telecanthus should be differentiated from hypertelorism (here the interpupillary distance is increased)
