Reasons for smaller eyes

I don’t know if you have ever had this feeling: when you were a child, your eyes looked very big, but as you get older, your eyes seem to get smaller. Sometimes, this is not just an illusion, there are many reasons that can cause our eyes to appear smaller. If you want to know the answer, we will share it with you below, hoping to answer your confusion.

The reason why people's eyes become smaller as they grow older

1The face becomes bigger, but the eye fissure does not continue to grow

When a person is born, their face continues to grow as they grow. Our palpebral fissure, which is the gap between the upper and lower eyelids, commonly known as the eye slit, will also increase accordingly, but after the age of 10 to 12, the eyelids basically stop growing. Therefore, as the face continues to grow, the proportion of the eyes will continue to decrease. Therefore, when comparing yourself as a child with yourself as an adult, the visual effect is that your eyes become smaller and smaller.

2. The face has become fatter and the fat around the eyes has increased.

There is another cruel phenomenon that causes your eyes to become smaller, and that is gaining weight. When your face becomes fatter, more and more fat will accumulate around your eyes. Relatively speaking, the eyes will appear smaller. Even if you have a small face, your eyes will also become smaller when fat accumulates on your face.

3. Dull eyes, which make them appear smaller visually

In life, we will find that children's eyes are very pure. This is because children's eyes contain more water and less fat around the eyes, resulting in a clear black and white visual effect. But as we age, our eye structure undergoes some changes. For example, the number of corneal cells decreases and the lens gradually becomes cloudy. These reasons will make the eyeball look less transparent. Especially for people with eye inflammation or excessive eye use, the eyes do not appear to be so clear in black and white, so visually the eyes seem to appear smaller.

Keep your eyes bright and have bright eyes

Pay attention to the combination of work and rest when using your eyes

Many people have red bloodshot eyes due to long-term excessive use of their eyes, and their eyes appear tired and dull. Therefore, we should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest in daily eye use. For example, after looking at computers, mobile phones and other electronic products for 45 minutes, we should take time to rest or look into the distance for a while.

Don't stay up late

Staying up late has a great impact on people's mental state and also affects their eyes. Staying up late not only makes eye bags and dark circles worse, but also causes dry eyes and photophobia, making it difficult to open your eyes. If we ensure adequate sleep and a regular life, our energy and spirit will improve and our eyes will be bright and radiant.

Exercise more

Exercise can promote blood circulation and metabolism, thereby increasing the blood supply to the eyes. The blood contains a lot of nutrients and oxygen, which can improve eyesight. In addition, during exercise, our eyes can get active rest and look brighter.
