I didn't see any see any threads about this so I decided to do my own.
Zygomatics (cheekbones) are directly correlated to canthal tilt and eye area.
First we have to define what are high and low cheekbones, and differentiate between them.
The best way I've found to conclude this is looking at the position of the zygos in the midface.
High cheekbones examples:
Low cheekbones examples:
The second "attribute" is the density/size of the cheekbones (self explanatory).
Density≠Position, many get this wrong
The best way to tell is looking at a 3/4 photo, u notice the projection of the zygos, that create an ogee curve.
Model Vito Basso has midset and very dense cheekbones, plus the long ramus seems like they're highset.
Also note that protruded zygos doesn't mean they're dense:
U can see there's no visible ogee curve, but his thin forehead makes them appear wider.
That clarified, we can get to the point of the thread.
I've concluded that canthal tilt and in general the lower part of the eye has a direct correlation with zygomatics.
The zygomatic bone touches the eye area directly. If u increase the density of the cheekbone the low outer part is smaller (same if u increase the heigth positionwise).
Leading to a more positive canthal tilt and smaller eyes.
If u look to previous individuals, this is statement is 100% true.
The eye area is directly affected by cheekbone position and density.
If u have a big or bad eye area, getting cheekbone implants may be the best way to get better eyes.

More proof
Looking at implants, augmenting the zygomatic density makes the eyes smaller (altough this guy is squinting, it's still noticeable).
U have to take into account that the density is only augmented in the outer part due to how fragile the eye area is.
