A method for determining the position of the eyes includes: a step for determining approximate positions of the eyes in the digital image; a step for determining adjacent positions; a step of geometric transformation of the digital image into normalized images in such a way as to make the adjacent positions coincide with the reference positions; a step of comparison of at least a part of each normalized image with a corresponding part of a predetermined image, each comparison providing a score representing the level of resemblance between the parts of images; and a step of declaration of the adjacent positions associated with the best score as actual positions of the eyes of the face.
