Depends: If your prescription is a -5.00, then yes your eyes would appear smaller as viewed through spectacles (Myopic prescription minifies). If your prescription is +5.00, then your eyes, as viewed through your spectacles would appear larger (Hyperopica prescription magnifies). Note, there is no physical affect on your eyeball by wearing the correct prescription.
