ESR is often regarded as one of the most important ratios in this site, i don't think it's a completely meaningless ratio but it's overrated and the ideal ratio isn't the same on everyone
MFR is a better way to identify eye spacing
ESR is overrated at indentifying if eyes are close/wide set because the midface ratio is what actually matters
Just look at Marko Jaric vs Charlie Kirk, you would probably think Jaric has closer set eyes right?
WRONG, jaric has a 0.4 esr while kirk's ESR is 0.38 (JFL)
Another example is how barret's eyes actually look pretty wide set even tho his esr is low (0.435)
This brings me to my next point
People with high posterior facial depth usually have a lower ESR (Drago, Barret, Stepanov etc)
SInce the distance between the ear and the lateral canthus is higher, the sides of the face look longer and in a front picture the increased length is flattened, causing the eyes to look closer together, this is especially true if the person has prominent cheekbones (barret in the pic above for example)
Now compare it to chico who isn't as forward grown and has non existent zygos
This basically means the more forward grown you are the more you can afford to have a lower esr (YOU STILL NEED AN IDEAL MFR)
Obviously IPD still matters since it's what determines your MFR
TLDR
ESR is overrated, MFR is what actually makes eyes look close or far set and forward growth influences how your eye spacing is percieved
