please help i needa noe if my eye will go back to normal!!!

Answer 1

It probably only appeared to be smaller.  

Pressing on your eye and rubbing it can affect the way the lense of your eye bends and change the way things look.

Answer 2

No it won't make your eye smaller. It might make the outer areas of your eye swell and get red temporarily, but it would not cause your eyes to shrink. You are just fine, don't worry.
