do smaller beings see objects in the world as larger, or is their perspective merely closer to the ground? (does your perspective depend on the size of your eyeball?)
In: 10
The size of the eye is largely irrelevant. Larger eyes can fit more rods/cones and see better, but that’s mostly it.
Put your face down low at the edge of a table, so your eyes are just above the surface. Put something on the table and it will look bigger. It’s actually kind of a fun optical illusion. Your brain is used to your height, and uses it as a frame of reference for gauging size.
In other words, perspective is a result of your position in space. By changing your position, you can change your perspective and trick your brain into thinking things are different than reality.
