Sanpaku.

The Japanese have a word for it. Given the Japanese and the type of eyes they have, for them to have coined this is hilarious.

Does she have psychological issues?

Funny you should ask.

"Sanpaku" means "three whites" as in a contigious ~270+ degrees plus of white is visible when looking straight ahead.

Further more, there's upper sanpaku, and lower sanpaku.

The latter was made most famous by possessor Bette Davis.

The former, by the late Charlie Manson, who had the "dreaded upper sanpaku", "which is thought to indicate a dangerous psychopath."

Say, AOC has upper sanpaku...

At least the samurai were honorable. The Forty-seven ronin (masterless samurai) is a legend of Japanese history.
