Does crying make smaller eyes?
just curious...

It can make your eyes looks smaller due to temporary swelling of the tissues around the eye, but it does not permanently change the size of your eyes.


sodapop
no. the more you cry, the longer u live. thats what my science teacher said...unless she was lying or something.

Nope. Eyes actually never grow or shrink. The size of eyes you are born with will be the size of eyes you will die with. (This is why babies eyes seem so big!)

It doesn't really make your eyes smaller. What it does is make your eyelids swell, which makes it seem like your eyes are smaller. After a few hours tops, it should return to normal.

To be technical, the reason why it swells is partly from us rubbing our eyes/wiping away tears. The other reason is that our nervous system is reacting to our strong emotions and seeing it as a sign of stress. During stress, the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system mounts a "fight or flight" response, which is supposed to protect us from danger. This causes flushing in our face, more tear secretion, dilated pupils, and more blood flow to the periphery of our body, contributing to the swollen eyelids.

no, just puffier eyelids!

Eyes looking smaller from crying are a temporary illusion, it's actually the eyelids and delicate skin aroundf the eyes swelling that makes the eyes appear smaller.
