Is it true that increase in eyesight cause your eyes to be swollen?

Question

I have really bad eyesight and the curve of my eyes(when closed) keep getting bigger when my eye prescription goes up.

I was wondering whether my eyesight had anything to do with my eye getting more 'swollen?'.

*i'm not sure if the word 'swollen' is the right way to describe it but it's as close as i can get.

Answer 1

In myopia, the eyeball is considered to be "long," so, in theory, your eye has gotten longer when your prescription goes up.
