Lateral Canthus (Outer Corner / Temporal Canthus)
The lateral canthus is the outer corner of your eye where your upper and lower eyelids meet on the side closest to your temple. This area is important for proper drainage of tears and helps keep your eye comfortable. Fine lines and wrinkles often appear here as you age.
