Nearsighted patients usually do not have smaller eyes, so patients do not need to worry too much.
Myopia is usually caused by the growth of the eye axis, which prevents the imaging point from falling accurately on the retina, resulting in blurred vision. If a myopic patient wears glasses that are too low or does not wear glasses, because of the blurring of vision, the patient may squint, which gives the impression that the eyes are getting smaller, but they are not really getting smaller.
Myopia patients may have eye axis growth, the larger the degree of myopia, the longer the patient’s eye axis, so patients with high myopia may have the symptom of eyeball protrusion, giving people a feeling of larger eyes.
It is recommended that myopic patients seek medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
