Eye mask, also known as eye chakra and lying silkworm, is a protruding part under the eyelashes when laughing, and is actually composed of orbicularis oculi muscle.

Sleeping silkworms are most likely to appear in people with big eyes or slightly protruding eyes, giving people a special sense of concern. In fact, these eyes look particularly attractive. Its look and feel is completely different from the haggard feeling brought by bags under the eyes.

This is not a pouch, but a local hypertrophy of the orbicularis oculi muscle. The professional name is "muscle pouch", which is generally called "lying silkworm" by the people. The description is quite vivid. It has a band-shaped protrusion of about 4 to 7 mm near the lower edge of the eyelashes, which looks like a silkworm baby lying on the edge of the lower eyelashes.
