Around our eyes, there are 6 major eye muscles.

Above is the muscle that helps lift the eye upward. Raise your eyes up - at that moment the upper muscles shrink and increase in size, and the muscle that below - relax. Looked down, on the contrary lower muscle exerts and the upper relax. Look to the left, the left arm will fall, right relax. Accordingly, look to the right - the right to reduce, and left to relax.

But oculomotor muscles not only help control the movement of our eyes, but also affect their shape. Our eye is constructed very simply. Imagine a balloon filled with liquid. If you press down on it from different angles, it will change its shape. Likewise, works and our eye.

Since any muscle under tension grows in size, the muscles that are top-bottom-right-left-eye compress, giving it a more elongated shape. At this point you start to see worse away and you develop myopia.

And since each individual arm may be overextended in varying degrees, and then to the eye, they will press unevenly. This accordingly leads to astigmatism.
