Why do the eyes of people with short sight look different?

Question

Is it from the condition itself or from wearing glasses.

Answer 1

i never noticed this.

I know that short sighted eyes are "oblong" shaped, which causes the short sightedness, but it's not noticable .

Answer 2

because they are aliens from the planet zeno opticlan.

Answer 3

I think it is the way their eyes are focusing.

Answer 4

People with short sight don't look different, nor are their eyes oblong.  Usually it is patients with astigmatism that have oblong eyes.  People with myopia (near-sightedness) have shorter eyes from front to back.

Neither oblong-shaped eyes or shorter eyes would be noticeable when looking at someone.

The glasses near-sighted people wear can cause their eyes to look smaller.  The glasses far-sighted people wear can cause their eyes to look larger.  The worse the eyesight, the more exaggerated that appearance through the glasses.

Is that what you mean?

Answer 5

Don't know what you mean, myopic people's eyes don't look different.

The glasses may make the eyes and face seen through the lens look smaller.
