I am nearsighted. So, i often carry my eyeglasses. Now, i noticed that my eyes look smaller than before when i take off my glasses. Why? What causes it?

In fact the look of your eyes changed not because of your eyeglasses, but your myopia. The shape of your eyeballs is changed when you become nearsighted. When you get myopia, your eyeballs are changed from spherical to oval. As a result, your eyes look smaller than before. As your prescription gets heavier, the change becomes more noticeable.
